If your organization participates in LARIAC, then you probably know that right now you have Early Access to the 2017 imagery (both orthos and obliques) in Pictometry’s online CONNECTExplorer application. Keep in mind the Early Access imagery still has work to be done on it, but at least you can take a look at the new stuff while they are working on it.
One thing you can do is bring some of the ortho imagery into your ArcGIS Desktop environment. Here are the simple steps to do so:
The GeoTIFF images are actually using geographic coordinates (WGS84), but they reproject very well into State Plane.
This is a very quick way to bring in the new 2017 Early Access imagery into your maps if you need to. As the imagery is cleaned up and worked on to create preliminary images, there will be map services setup for you to consume in your applications. But for now, you can use these steps. Enjoy! -mike

The USGS is requesting information from the land imaging community for user requirements for future Landsat systems. To view the RFI go to www.fedconnect.net, click on “Search Public Opportunities Only”, then choose search by “Reference Number” which is G17PS00634. Click on right side of the screen to view the RFI document. An overview:
This is a Request for Information – User Needs for Future Landsat Missions. The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Land Remote Sensing Program has collected a diverse set of U.S. Federal civil user measurement needs for moderate-resolution land imaging to help formulate future Landsat missions. The primary objective of this RFI is to determine if these needs are representative of the broader Landsat user community, including, but not limited to, private sector, government agencies, non-governmental organizations and academia, both domestic and foreign. Responses to this RFI will be considered along with other inputs in future system formulation. Please see the RFI for full details.
Please pass along to your land imaging constituents this information. Any inquiries about the RFI can be sent to the Contracting Officer, Vickie Floyd (vfloyd@usgs.gov), during the open RFI period. Responses are due no later than 11:00 am ET, July 14, 2017.
