Statewide GIS Outreach:
50 States Initiative Project Page Now Up!

South Carolina was fortunate to be awarded a CAP Grant this year for the 50 States Initiative Program. The goal of the project is a strategic plan and business plan that we can use moving forward within the state. The five outreach sessions have concluded, and we have received a lot of valuable feedback. There is still an opportunity to get involved. Click here to learn more about the project, and how you can make your voice heard.

About SCGIS

In 2006, a Memorandum of Agreement was signed by eight state agencies, establishing a GIS Coordination Council for the state of South Carolina.

The purpose of the Council is to better coordinate GIS activities in the State including spatial data collection and management, standards development and data and information sharing. The SCGIC also serves as the formal body to develop operational strategies and policies for GIS implementation among cooperating agencies in South Carolina.

In July 2007, a GIS Coordinator was hired to implement the GIS coordination duties and responsibilities defined by the Council. Primary among these is to serve as the liaison between state agencies represented on the Council and also between the Council and county, local and municipal governments and private sector organizations.
