3 President’s FY2011 Budget In 2010 and 2011, Federal data managers for geospatial data will move to a portfolio management approach, creating a Geospatial Platform to support GeoOneStop, place-based initiatives, and other potential future programs. This transformation will be facilitated by improving the governance framework to address the requirements of State, local and tribal agencies, Administration policy, and agency mission objectives. Investments will be prioritized based on business needs. The Geospatial Platform will explore opportunities for increased collaboration with Data.gov, with an emphasis on reuse of architectural standards and technology, ultimately increasing access to geospatial data.

9 Place-Based Policy and Programs Executive Office of the President Memorandum M-09-28: “Developing Effective Place-Based Policies for the FY 2011 Budget, August 11, 2009” OMB Budget Data Request No : “Place-Based Policies and Programs” “… to advance the Administration’s domestic and fiscal priorities and to increase the impact of government dollars by leveraging place- conscious planning and place-based programming.” “Place-based policies leverage investments by focusing resources in targeted places and drawing on the compounding effect of well- coordinated action. Effective place-based policies can influence how rural and metropolitan areas develop, how well they function as places to live, work, operate a business, preserve heritage, and more. Such policies can also streamline otherwise redundant and disconnected programs.” FGDC support and participation in Place-based policies under discussion 28.pdf
