The MAPC applied for and received funding from the Massachusetts Technology Collaborative Community Planning and Development Grant Program to integrate certain forms of distributed power generation and renewable energy into the local planning process. Funds were secured under the grant CP-04-05 for the creation of a map that would highlight areas with an increased potential for wind energy development within the coastal North Shore study area. The map also plays a role in identifying areas that may need to be considered when sitting wind energy developments. A complete list of data sources and the agencies involved in the map s creation are as follows: Massachusetts Geographic Information System (MassGIS), Metropolitan Area Planning Council(MAPC), Massachusetts Highway Department (MHD) and Massachusetts Technology Collaborative. This map was created by the MAPC GIS Department using the Arc/Info mapping and map analysis software.

The features depicted on this map represent approximations of real-world conditions and should only be used for planning purposes. The features depicted on this map may or may not meet National Map Accuracy Standards. That this exists for features shown on this has not been evaluated. There have been no deliberate omissions of map feature geography or feature attributes. Map Introduction Data Sources Map Notes The information depicted on this map is for planning purposes only.
