  • using GIS to support economic development development efforts in the state;
  • provide training and outreach on the use of GIS;
  • administering a statewide orthoimagery and lidar program;
  • adopting geospatial data standards, guidelines, and procedures;
  • performing technical data processing to aggregate and organize existing datasets and create new datasets; and
  • develop broadband data and mapping in accordance with Public Act 21-159

The GIO establishes goals for the GIS Office through consultation with the Geographic Information Systems Advisory Council established pursuant to Section 79 of Public Act 21-2.
