[Athen] accessible interactive maps with data

[Jennifer Sutton]

Hello, all:


I don't know that these resources will answer your question 
specifically, Stephanie, but perhaps they'll point you and others 
working on interactive maps in the right directions when communicating 
with vendors.


I look forward to hearing and capturing what very specific guidance 
others may have.


Best,

Jennifer
