Step 3: Municipal Self-Assessment

The Municipal Self-Assessment Report (MSA) (or Self-Assessment for regional entities) is the means by which a petitioner reviews its existing and future conditions. It evaluates demographic trends, inventories, natural and comunity resources, and assesses the consistency of current planning and zoning documents with the State Plan and other planning priorities of the state agencies such as climate resilience and environmental justice.
