Join the Metropolitan Area Planning Council (MAPC) and the Massachusetts Department of Energy Resources (DOER) for an interactive workshop introducing MAPC's newest toolkit, "Streamlining the Solar Permitting Process and Developing Supportive Zoning Bylaws."

The workshop will walk participants through this helpful toolkit and provide additional guidance from DOER as well as municipalities that have instituted some of these practices on the ground. Workshop presenters will demonstrate steps municipalities can take to streamline and standardize the solar permitting process and create effective zoning bylaws that further encourage the adoption of solar energy systems and reduce the time, effort, and money spent to implement them. Presentations will be followed by Q&A and time for knowledge sharing and networking.
