--"In the 21st century, increasingly, a livable community will be an economically
 powerful one."
        --Vice President Gore. September 2, 1998
 
The Vice President's National Partnership for Reinventing Government (NPR) has
awarded a total of $644,623.00 to six National Spatial Data Infrastructure
Community Demonstration Projects through its Information Technology Innovation
Fund.  The demonstrations are located in Baltimore City, Maryland; Dane County,
Wisconsin; Gallatin County, Montana; the Tijuana River Watershed, California and
Mexico; Tillamook County, Oregon; and the Upper Susquehanna-Lackawanna Watershed,
Pennsylvania.  Issues to be addressed
include water and environmental quality, smart growth and land use planning,
habitat restoration, flood mitigation and response, and crime mapping.  These
projects will demonstrate the importance of partnerships between federal agencies
in developing and using geographic information and related computer technologies
to improve the livability of American communities.
