Geodetic Task Force

Here is a great chance for GIS professionals and students to get more involved in a process that could shape NJ GIS and mapping for decades to come:


A new task force is forming, so that a comprehensive understanding of the new datums being put forth by the National Geodetic Survey, and the potential impacts, can be provided to the NJGF community.

All who are interested are welcome to join the Geodetic Task Force. Please contact the Task Force Chair, Edith Konopka, for more information and/or to sign-up.

The first meeting of the New Jersey Geospatial Forum Geodetic Task Force has been scheduled for Wednesday, March 11, 2020, 1:30 - 3:30 pm at 300 Riverview Plaza, Trenton, Room 402, which is on the fourth floor. Please bring photo ID with you, and allow time to sign-in with the guard at the front desk.

The agenda for the first meeting is:
- create list of specific goals for the task force, referencing the mission statement provided by the NJGF Executive Committee
- discuss briefly the US National Geodetic Survey proposed alternatives for the new NJ State Plane coordinate system.

The mission statement of the Geodetic Task Force is:
To get a comprehensive understanding of the new datums being put forth by the National Geodetic Survey and potential impacts and plan to implement statewide.
