- The state has a GIS Pilot Project taking place in two counties. I don’t understand why each state has to re-invent the wheel every time they want to do something. It’s already been done. Copy someone else.

From commenter Jessica below:

Actually, Michigan does have digital site information, just not available online (we are slowly working toward this). You would have to stop by the office to get a copy (unless you know the site number, at which point someone can email you the information). We do not charge any fees for conducting research, making copies, or providing site information.
