Local, State, and Federal GIS Data Sharing in Maine地方，州和联邦的GIS数据共享，在缅因州.pptVIP

Local-State-Federal Data Sharing Intergovernmental Data Sharing Why bother? Just a lot of extra work, right? In most cases, not really very much work at all – just sharing data with MEGIS, who will then share with feds. Benefits to towns/counties include that federal data (census data for example) will align with state and local data – makes analysis easier for all of us. Funding possibilities – Federal and state funds often available to bring local data in synch with state and federal data.
