first things first. the import guidelines are here: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Import/Guidelines
second, the licensing is critical. make absolutely sure that the state has a clear statement of public domain, CC0 or equivalent license. probably the most valuable import would be conflated address points and building footprints. NYC did such an import, and Mass as well. they have import pages that are worth looking over. Jason Remillard has tools from the Mass project here: https://github.com/jremillard/osm-import-toolkit you can use the import-us mailing list to kick things around and discuss what you're trying to do. you need to prepare a page describing your import proposal and it will eventually have to be brought to the import mailing list for review. the better the job you do before going to the import list, the better off everyone will be. i'm currently developing a plan for a NYS address points import (hopefully with building footprints) and so i'm in a somewhat similar place right now. richard On 1/8/18 7:54 PM, Russell Meier wrote: > > Greetings, > > > > I am new to the idea of discussing additions to OSM and like to do my > best to follow best practices in suggesting an import.
