[TCMUG] Building heights Minneapolis/ St. Paul?

[Jennifer Strahan]

Thanks for the thoughts.  I'll investigate the Lidar data to see if that is
feasible for me to work with.

I believe this is will be used to find candidate locations for a new
distillery.  I'm not sure what their building height requirements are
though.  My colleague just asked me last night if we could get building
height data.  Do you know of any buildings datasets that includes number of
floors?

Thanks,
Jen
