Local Government Resource Center / Web Services

The Resources available on this site are divided into two main areas of access.

One area is available to the public as well as our members.

The other area is provided for our Municipal Members (their elected or appointed officials and employees) and our Associate Members as a research and document delivery area. Decision about who may or may not access this area is at the discretion of the Municipal or Associate member.

Please contact the  Resource Center at MMA for help in locating information or data.
