This ticket is ready for dev lead review -- if this should be a Good First Issue, I can add more instruction to support the new dev in completing the ticket.

moving this back to draft and assigning myself. As I started to point to areas of the code that would need to change, I realized there's a fair amount of similarly named variables... I need to differentiate between use of ncGeoJson js file, and the nc-boundary-2019-modified.json file.

I'm moving this very temporarily to Icebox, while I create an ER for this so that the task can be broken down into component pieces, making it easier for devs to tackle without a high degree of guidance.

Just adding a piece of context. While reading up on communications between the old PM Lead and Dept of Neighborhood Empowerment, it seems that in the past we used to specifically request the most updated version of the map. I believe the latest version of the map comes from 2018. I also recall that we shouldn't ask LA's Information Technology Agency (ITA) for info on latest boundaries. Apparently they just upload the data, and aren't necessarily informed on its relevance.

I will be moving this to ready for product to decide how to proceed on this.

cc @bberhane, ty for calling ITA that one time
