Minnesota Local Government Boundaries -- An Initiative to Support The National Map and NSDI
Award Number G10AC00205, Category 7: Demonstration of Geospatial Data Partnerships across Local, State, Tribal, and Federal Government
The Minnesota Geospatial Information Office, working in close partnership with other state agencies and local governmental units through their statewide organizations – the Association of Minnesota Counties, the League of Minnesota Cities, and the Association of Minnesota Townships – will design and implement a collaborative and streamlined approach to manage and maintain authoritative, accurate, current and non-redundant municipal and township boundary data statewide. Because of existing legislative and administrative review requirements, once implemented, this process will be enduring. The project builds upon previous work of MnGeo and its partners, and will document the best practices, agreements, and technical characteristics required to ensure that results can be sustained over time and that will serve as a guide to extending the process to other NSDI data layers and other areas of the nation. Data will be provided through web services that fully support The National Map and other national geospatial programs. This project complements other data integration projects guided by MnGeo, which has statutory authority to coordinate GIS efforts in Minnesota.
