The National Geodetic Survey will release a new reference and datum, replacing the current NAD83 and NAVD88, estimated to occur sometime in 2024-2025 (975kb pdf). This includes the development of Low Distortion Projection zones and a State Plane Coordination System of 2022. A North Dakota committee was formed in 2018 to address this change and to provide input.
