NSDI 2.0 A Concept for American Recovery and Reinvestment

A number of folks from diverse backgrounds have prepared an American Recovery and Reinvestment Plan that is designed to not only create jobs and foster economic growth and competitiveness, but with a long term focus to create a national spatial digital infrastructure (NSDI), an online information network that would allow the rebuilding of America in a "smart, efficient, environmentally conscientious and sustainable way."

This “NSDI 2.0” initiative is intended to not only address the issues identified in the ASCE 2009 Report Card, but to provide the US with a national spatial data infrastructure that would provide what President Obama said to in his inauguration speech as "lay[ing] a new foundation for growth."

Thanks for the comments Geoff. We would appreciate any additional ideas on how an “NSDI 2.0” information network can address issues identified in the ASCE 2009 Report Card.
