[Massplanners] Chapter 3A - adding acreage AFTER adoption

[Katharine Lacy]

Hi Michelle: if modifications are required after the 3A District has been
adopted that entail recalculating things, changing district boundaries, or
other post-adoption changes, MHP is still accepting requests for Technical
Assistance and can help you with that process in short order.

Here is the link to the Application:

Good Luck!

Katy Lacy
Senior Planner, MHP
