MiDIG, also referred to as the Michigan Infrastructure Council (MIC) Project Portal, is a Geographic Information System (GIS) based platform that allows users to share capital improvement plans statewide.
MiDIG allows agencies to streamline communication, enhance transparency, and facilitate seamless collaboration among all stakeholders involved in infrastructure projects.
By participating in MiDIG, agencies are able to break down institutional silos and coordinate with partnering agencies to facilitate more “Dig Once” projects that stretch investments farther and reduce disruptions for citizens over time.
Due to data security reasons, MiDIG has restricted access and is not open to the general public.

Participating in MiDIG helps your agency with features like:
Upon entering into the MiDIG portal, users land on a home page that shows a map of Michigan with projects that agencies have input into the portal.
In the default Map View, users can manually zoom in and out to explore the map. Users can also utilize the filter tools on the Map View to search for specific projects and other criteria. Users can also utilize the search tool on the Map View to search for specific projects.
Along with viewing projects in the Map View, users can select the tab labeled “Library” to view projects in a detailed list. In Library View, users can apply the same filters and search tool to find projects.
Users can upload projects in both the Map and Library Views. In the Library View users can also create Boundary Groups, view overlaps, and conduct batch uploads.
The intended purpose of MiDIG is to provide a platform for agencies to map and share Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) Projects with partnering agencies to help identify opportunities for coordination.
Agencies can input projects one of two ways:
Along with creating projects, agencies can create relational groups and boundary groups in the portal to be notified of projects within the area.
When multiple projects are overlapping or a project is entered into an agency’s boundary group, a notification is generated for each of the projects owners that shares project information and agency contact information. Users are able to customize notification settings to accommodate their communication preferences. Users are able to communicate by utilizing in-app communication channels and enabling email notifications.
More information about the portal can be found in the operational guidelines and the Project Portal Access Agreement.
