The UPWP presents information on the transportation planning activities that will be carried out in the MVMPO region over the coming federal fiscal year (October

1, 2022 – September 30, 2023). Most of these analyses and studies will be conducted by the transportation planning staff of the Merrimack Valley Planning Commission. However, other important studies that impact the region, including studies conducted by other agencies, are also identified and briefly described.

The above referenced amendment is available for review on the Merrimack Valley Planning Commission (MVPC) website (www.mvpc.org ) for the twenty-one (21) day review period beginning on December 7, 2022 and ending on December 27,

2022.

Public comments must be submitted to: [email protected] or through the “Comment Form” button on the mvpc.org/news website where you will find this notice with links to the Draft document and the comments button.

The MVMPO expects to take action on the above document at its early January meeting (check www.mvpc.org toward the end of the review period for recent news regarding the MPO VIRTUAL meeting). Members of the public are invited to JOIN the VIRTUAL meeting. Comments on the draft documents will also be accepted orally at this meeting. In the event that further amendments to the documents are recommended, the draft documents will be re-released for public comment in accordance with the MVMPO Public Participation Plan.
