Initiatives

The IndianaMap is being built and maintained through a series of individual projects, each concentrating on a specific goal, like data sharing or economic development. These projects involve the collaborative efforts of federal, state, and local partners aiming to acquire, improve, and deliver a wide variety of geographic data for Indiana.

Overall direction and strategy is determined by the Steering Committee. This body includes representatives from partner organizations, stakeholders, government agencies, and other interested groups. All meetings are open to the public, and participation is encouraged and appreciated.
