Melrose, Malden, and Medford worked with the MAPC to collaboratively develop sustainable and resilient building design guidelines for residential and mixed-use developments and retrofits. These voluntary guidelines will help these communities encourage developers to build more more affordable housing that is energy-efficient and climate-resilient.
Join us for an interactive webinar on April 26 at 12:00 p.m. to learn about the guidelines and hear from the communities about how they plan to use them to shape green, affordable development.
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.
