What is the goal?
GIS is all about the science of where. The
CT GIS Office is responsible for coordinating and managing GIS data acquisition and geospatial/location data policy for the State of CT, Office of Policy and Management. Our goal is to support all CT stakeholders including municipalities, State Agencies,
and non-profits with high quality data, standards, and effective policies. The CT GIS Office needs your participation at a
Public Outreach Meeting to set priorities for Geographic Information Systems (GIS) data, mapping, and geospatial policies over the next five years in support of our Geospatial Strategic Planning process.
We are holding a stakeholder meeting in Farmington, CT to prioritize themes and issues for the first-ever CT Geospatial Strategic Plan. Your active participation in this workshop is critical
for us to understand the needs of stakeholders at all levels who use GIS, location, and mapping data.
