State of Utah Geospatial Strategic and Business Plan

Coordination activities have been an indispensable part of Utah’s geospatial strategy since 1986. In the twenty years since then, the State has partnered with virtually every federal agency, every county, and many cities and tribal organizations. Through regular interaction and practical implementation of geospatial technologies, tremendous benefits to the citizens of the State have been garnered.

Through a generally shared vision, lots of hard work, and probably some luck, much has been accomplished. We think we can do even more through a participatory approach to a visioning and implementation strategy. This project will engage the community to contribute to the creation of a strategic plan that will explain our vision for the future for geospatial information and technologies, a business plan that will define how objectives will be achieved along with justification for doing them, and a technology plan that will determine the optimum solution and what technology needs to be in place for achieving the goals and objectives. Combined, these plans will strengthen our council, improve coordination, define the business needs of the stakeholders, and establish priorities for the State.
