We had a lot of interest in our Summer Municipal Assistance Program. We are happy to report that we have accepted and will be helping 11 communities. These projects represent communities in NH, CT, MA, and RI and will cover a myriad of our technical assistance offers such as preparation of redevelopment scenarios, scope of work, community engagement, and brownfield inventories.
