Strategic Plan
NSGICs vision is that all levels of
government become highly effective and efficient
through coordinated development and use of
geospatial data and technologies.
NSGICs mission is to be an effective
advocate for states in national geospatial policy
initiatives, to guide the states in fulfilling
their role in building the National Spatial Data
Infrastructure (NSDI), and to promote statewide
geospatial coordination activities in all states,
thereby achieving our vision.
