MMA hosting Legislative Breakfast Meetings Oct. 4, 11, 18

Local leaders speak with legislators, MMA staff and municipal officials from other communities during an MMA Legislative Breakfast Meeting on March 15 in Wareham.

Online registration is open for the MMA’s fall series of Legislative Breakfast Meetings, which will be held during October in Franklin, Leyden, Ludlow, Maynard, Peabody and Yarmouth.

Each spring and fall, the MMA hosts a series of meetings in communities across Massachusetts to give local leaders, legislators and MMA staff the opportunity to network in an informal setting and learn about and discuss issues of importance at the local and state level.

MMA Legislative Division staff will discuss the latest activity in the Legislature that has implications for cities and towns. Topics will include the fiscal 2025 state budget, a new housing law, a wage equity law, clean energy siting and permitting, the proposed Municipal Empowerment Act, an economic development bill, transportation funding, regulatory updates, and more.

Officials from every city and town are encouraged to take advantage of this opportunity to discuss issues of importance with MMA staff and legislators. Attendees are also urged to contact their local legislators and invite them to attend as well.

The meetings will be held from 8:30 to 10:15 a.m. in the following locations:
