Municipal Assistance (MA) Program

Forty free hours of technical assistance for each community, every year.

Forty (40) Hours of Free Technical Assistance to Every Community, Every Year

A new round of SRPEDD Municipal Assistance (MA) is available for FY27!

As we do every fiscal year, SRPEDD is happy to provide 40 hours of free technical assistance to each of our communities. This tradition – known as our “Municipal Assistance (MA)” Program – provides a variety of options for SRPEDD staff to help move your work forward. For example, some communities use their MA time to complete one or two bite-sized projects, such as GIS mapping or a drone flight. Others use all 40 hours to jump-start a larger project or as matching funds for grant applications.

For more information, please contact Grant King at gking@srpedd.org. Or simply ask a staff member to help you fill out the FY27 application form.
