Nebraska Geospatial Strategic Plan 2012 - The NITC GIS Council Strategic Planning Committee is nearing completion of the statewide strategic planning effort. The planning committee has drafted a vision and strategic goals outline. Prior to this, information was gathered from over 448 respondents to the survey during January and February. A total of six stakeholder workshops were conducted in February to gather city, county, and regional input from the survey findings and other topics. The workshops involved more than 170 participants in Scottsbluff, North Platte, Grand Island, Norfolk, Lincoln, and Omaha. Resources to support the planning process have been made possible through a cooperative grant effort called the Fifty States Initiative implemented between the Federal Geographic Data Committee (FGDC) and the National States Geographic Information Council (NSGIC). Through this grant, Applied Geographics, Inc. has been awarded the contract to facilitate the strategic planning and reporting process. More Info...
