The Montana Geospatial Information Act Grant Program was established under the Montana Land Information Act in 2007. Then in 2023, the MLIA statute was amended to the MGIA to reflect new standards, and since it's inception, the grant program has helped fund many successful geographic information projects across the state of Montana.
The MGIA Grant Program supports state, local, tribal, and state university projects that advance the Montana Geospatial Information Plan and improve the Montana Spatial Data Infrastructure (MSDI) and other priority geospatial data and services.
