Florida’s Efforts at Statewide GIS Coordination
GovTech reports on Florida’s efforts toward statewide GIS coordination. Of note:
- The state ranks 49th in its efforts for coordination based on NSGIC’s rubrick
- The state has the most GISPs
- This is the fourth time the state has tried to develop a coordinating body
The ranking on the NSGIC list is incredibly important - not to put down the state - but to push for it to move up the ladder. The fact that a sidebar highlights the rubrick shows what NSGIC is doing to push forward on its Fifty States Initiative, that is, to develop coordination and ideally a state coordinator in all 50 states. I’m not sure if NSGIC publishes rankings, but if you want to help push your state forward you might want to see how well it does meeting the listed requirements.
