UConn TAB’s Municipal Assistance Program(MAP) provides free-of-charge services for municipalities, non-profits, regional planning associations, and other public entities.
The program runs three times a year, and this summer, 18 entities for a total of 21 projects were accepted into the Summer 2026 MAP program. These projects will provide technical assistance for projects spanning from grant support, record review, site reuse assessment, brownfield inventory, to community engagement.
We are excited to be working with these entities this summer!
