Building a National GIS

Building a National GIS

As America's leaders work to speed economic recovery, they need a system to properly manage and execute the Stimulus Plan. Building a National GIS is key to success.

A National GIS is uniquely capable of providing unity to the Stimulus Plan. As a cornerstone program, it will enable leaders to achieve the greatest results for each taxpayer dollar spent. With initiatives such as Imagery for the Nation, The National Map, and the National Spatial Data Infrastructure, federal agencies including USGS, Census Bureau, NOAA, DHS, and DOI have formed the foundation for a National GIS.
