The Merrimack Valley in New England is something extraordinary to behold. From quaint farm country to vibrant urban neighborhoods to quintessential seacoast towns, this region offers something for everyone. Diversity is our specialty, and our region is comprised of fifteen unique, proud communities all tied together by a commitment to collaboration and a common, natural thread—the Merrimack River.
Our four key Program Areas include initiatives that are tailored to meet the specific needs of our member communities, to help municipal officials and staff do what they do better.

GIS & Information Technology
