Posted on by

UConn TAB’s technical assistance for municipalities continues this summer. The MAP (Municipal Assistance Program) provides free-of-charge services over three rounds a year. This summer, a total of 21 MAP projects are going to be undertaken in five categories: grant support, record review, site reuse assessment, brownfield inventory, and community engagement.

Congrats to the selected municipalities, and we’re excited to see the positive impact these projects will have on our communities!
