The changes will affect the websites of many DAS programs, including GEO?s. While the URL for the top level of the DAS site will not change, GEO?s site will change from http://oregon.gov/DAS/EISPD/GEO to http://oregon.gov/DAS/CIO/GEO/. All links associated with http://gis.oregon.gov/ should remain the same. We will put various redirects in place; however, redirects are a temporary solution and often do not encompass every change. Agencies will need to update links, bookmarks and favorites. If you have links on websites that you manage that point to the old GEO directory, please correct them to the new link provided above. Please let us know if you have trouble accessing any content you were able to access before.
