Breakout sessions will include a law enforcement roundtable discussion and discussion of the benefits of arts-based programming for at-risk youth.

You are invited to join us for DLTA Day 2024!
This event is being hosted by the Massachusetts Association of Regional Planning Agencies (MARPA) in partnership with State Representative Paul Donato and State Senator Jamie Eldridge.
This event is in support of the District Local Technical Assistance Program (DLTA) and the Grant Assistance Program (GAP).
Questions? Please contact Matt Walsh (mwalsh@mapc.org)
DLTA is a unique program in the state budget that enables MAPC and our sister regional planning agencies in Massachusetts to provide cities and towns with the technical assistance they need to take on necessary projects which they don’t have the capacity to address on their own, and to partner with neighboring communities to tackle shared projects with reduced administrative burden.
DLTA Day is your chance to learn more about this critical program which helps all of our communities plan for and implement a better future.
Learn more about DLTA and MAPC’s Fiscal Year 2025 (FY25) request for an increase of $3.4 million in funding for the program.
