Yesterday, Representative John Curtis (R-UT), announced the creation of the House GIS (Geographic Information System) Working Group, a nonpartisan staff-led resource available for staff to learn about geospatial policy, how data is being used in the executive branch, and ways that each Congressional Office can use the technology. ![]() “As geospatial data becomes more and more integral to the planning and decision-making process at almost every agency, Congress has an obligation to learn and understand this technology and how it is being used. I am excited to announce the House GIS Working Group, a nonpartisan staff-led resource available for staff to learn about geospatial policy and how data is being used in the federal government. I am looking forward to working with my colleagues, including Rep. Pete Aguilar who has also dedicated a staff member to co-lead this working group, to improve GIS policies and continue to learn how geospatial data is helping map our world.” Background:
