South Dakota Cooperative Cadastral Initiative

The South Dakota Cooperative Cadastral Initiative has several components, with its primary goal being the production of cadastral strategic and business plans for the State of South Dakota. The Black Hills Digital Mapping Association will be the lead organization to facilitate the initiative, along with the State of South Dakota, the South Dakota Association of Assessing Officers, the Pennington County/Rapid City GIS Division, and the Sioux Falls GIS. Under the initiative, a two-day conference with a cadastral theme will provide educational opportunities and a forum for discussion of the development of a statewide cadastre. A Cadastral Committee will be established to draft and finalize cadastral strategic and business plans that will be reviewed by stakeholders during public participation meetings, and will be formally endorsed by supporting organizations before submittal to the State of South Dakota. This project directly supports the NSDI and the objectives of the Fifty States Initiative Action Plan by futhering the coordination of programs and policies that enable the further development, distribution, and maintenance of statewide geospatial information.
