State Geospatial Coordinating Board

Overview

The Pennsylvania State Geospatial Coordinating Board was established within the Office of Administration by Act 178 of 2014 to: “Provide advice and recommendations to the Governor and the citizens of this commonwealth on geospatial issues and provide uniform data standards, coordination and efficiency in geospatial policy and technology issues among Federal, State and local government agencies, academic institutions and the private sector.” In recognition of its value, operations of the GeoBoard have been reauthorized twice, first through the enactment of Act 37 of 2020, and again with the passage of Act 35 of 2024.
