Statewide Geospatial Council Strategic Plan and Business Plan Development

The purpose of this project is to gather input from a broad range of geospatial information stakeholders throughout the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania that will form a consensus-based mission and vision for the Statewide Geospatial Council (SGC). This input will help guide the activities of the proposed SGC, define the goals and focus of initial working committees, and set priorities for the Council’s first year. Throughout the process, the project team will incorporate previous strategic planning initiatives, review existing state council models, and provide opportunities for the geospatial community to be the driving force behind a successful new statewide geospatial council for the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
