[Massplanners] Guidebook to Massachusetts Land Use

[Bob RITCHIE]

Just as a caution, the Guidebook was completed several years ago and to my knowledge APA-MA has not updated it since finalized.

Here is the answer I received from APA-MA: “It's my understanding that you have to be an APA member in order to access the guidebook, and you use your APA member number to login.” After you join APA-MA, you go to their website, click under Resources, and the Guidebook will appear at the top of the list. Click it, then enter your APA-MA membership number to gain access.

This invaluable resource was written by Bob Michell, FAICP and Bob Ritchie, Esq. and published by the MA Chapter of APA. I believe it’s the most current and germane reference a planner, professional or volunteer, can avail themselves of. It’s accessible on-line to APA-MA members.
