Illinois GIS Strategy

The mission of the Council is to assist the Conservation Commission in the preparation of a strategy for the development of a statewide GIS and the submission of that strategy to the legislative leadership. The Council focuses on, but is not limited in its strategic planning, to natural resources and related data. The Council expanded on the initial goals set forth in the legislation, identifying eight primary issues in the development of the strategy:

Identify information and data needed for a statewide GIS System
Develop base map reference standardization
Procure ortho-digitized base map coverage for the State of Oklahoma
Identify agencies responsible for data gathering, maintenance, and dissemination
Develop a comprehensive data catalog and clearinghouse
Identify a continuing statewide GIS coordinating entity
Provide education and public access
Coordinate efforts with federal, regional, state, county, and local agencies in GIS development

** Similar to ILGIC.  Developed a Strategic Plan with a similar NSGIC Grant.
