MuniCollab’s mission is to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of municipal governance and operations through the use of purpose-built coordination and collaboration tools.
MuniCollab’s initial focus is on improving the efficiency and effectiveness of land-use review boards as a means of unlocking smart economic growth and other long-term community goals. These tools provide a means of fully digitizing land-use review procedures, from application in-take, through the board review process, to final decision making. MuniCollab’s portal provides public access to land-use proposals providing greater transparency for all stakeholders We believe that modern and effective land-use review processes serve a critical function in shaping the future of the communities they serve.
