GovLoop recently spoke with Barney Krucoff, Geographic Information Office, State of Maryland how GIS is helping to improve citizen engagement at the State of Maryland.
“[Open data] definitely cuts down on interagency stovepipes that we have a central repository so our agencies knows where to go to find things, the public knows where to go to find things, it’s always a question of keeping that up to date making sure we have the relevant data,” said Krucoff.
