Questions to Consider for Virginia

• How do we share geospatial and other data when,
  where, and with whom we need to (at all levels of
  government)?
• How do we provide HLS mapping capability to those
  who need it without deploying hundreds of costly
  mapping systems statewide?
• How do we leverage existing resources to reach
  our goals and ensure cost-effectiveness?
