Baltimore County, Maryland Request for Support
Baltimore County, Maryland recently conducted a GIS Strategic Business Plan that explored the costs and benefits of the technology, opportunities for expansion, and improvements based on industry best practices. One of the recommendations of the study was to put our data in the public domain. This goal of the survey, accessed from the link below, is to poll the GIS community to see how other organizations are performing this task. We would appreciate if you would complete our survey using the link below. This survey should take no more then 10 minutes to complete. We will publish the results to the same listservers that the request for information was posted to. Contact information is only being collected for our reference so that we may follow up with certain individuals if we need to. The contact information will not be published with our results.

Baltimore County, Maryland would also appreciate if you could pass this link to any GIS Managers or Coordinators that may be willing to complete their survey:
