to encourage and facilitate the adoption and implementation of local, regional and statewide
growth management programs. Under the provisions of the program, a municipality or
multimunicipal region may request financial or technical assistance from the office for the
Page 238 - 132LR2409(17)
purpose of planning and implementing a growth management program. A municipality or
multimunicipal region that requests and receives a financial assistance grant shall develop
and implement its growth management program in cooperation with the office and in a
manner consistent with the procedures, goals and guidelines established in this subchapter
and in Title 30-A, chapter 187, subchapter 2.
To accomplish the purposes of this subchapter, the office shall develop and administer

The office may not require a municipality or multimunicipal region to provide matching
funds in excess of 25% of the value of that municipality's or multimunicipal region's
financial assistance contract for its first planning assistance grant and implementation
assistance grant. The office may require a higher match for other grants, including, but not
limited to, grants for the purpose of updating comprehensive plans. This match limitation
does not apply to distribution of federal funds that the office may administer.
2. Use of funds. A municipality or multimunicipal region may expend financial
assistance grants for:
A. The conduct of surveys, inventories and other data-gathering activities;
B. The hiring of planning and other technical staff;

region that is directly related to the preparation of a comprehensive plan or the
implementation of a comprehensive plan adopted in accordance with the procedures,
goals and guidelines established in this subchapter.
3. Program evaluation. Any recipient of a financial assistance grant shall cooperate
with the office in performing program evaluations required under Title 30-A, section 4331.
4. Encumbered balances at year-end. Notwithstanding Title 5, section 1589, at the
end of each fiscal year, all encumbered balances accounts for financial assistance and
regional planning grants may be carried forward for 2 years beyond the year in which those
balances are encumbered.
5. Technical assistance. Using its own staff, the staff of other state agencies,
contractors and the resources of the regional councils, the office shall provide technical
assistance to municipalities or multimunicipal regions in the development, administration
and enforcement of growth management programs. The technical assistance component of
the program must include a set of model land use ordinances or other implementation
strategies developed by the office that are consistent with this subchapter.

administer an initiative to develop regional education and training programs, regional
policies to address state goals and regional assessments. Regional assessments may include,
but are not limited to, public infrastructure, inventories of agricultural and commercial
forest lands, housing needs, recreation and open space needs and projections of regional
growth and economic development. The initiative may include guidelines to ensure
methodological consistency among the State's regional councils. To implement this
initiative, the office may contract with regional councils to assist the office in reviewing
growth management programs, to develop necessary planning information at a regional
level or to provide support for local planning efforts.
7. Coordination. State agencies with regulatory or other authority affecting the goals
established in this subchapter shall conduct their respective activities in a manner consistent
with the goals established under this subchapter, including, but not limited to, coordinating
with municipalities, regional councils and other state agencies in meeting the state goals;
providing available information to regions and municipalities as described in Title 30-A,

prepare a growth management program and receives a planning grant under Title 30-A,
chapter 187, subchapter 2 shall submit its comprehensive plan to the office for review. A
municipality or multimunicipal region that chooses to prepare a growth management
program without receiving a planning grant under this subchapter may submit its
comprehensive plan to the office for review. The office shall review plans for consistency
with the procedures, goals and guidelines established in Title 30-A, chapter 187, subchapter
2. A contract for a planning assistance grant must include specific timetables governing the
review of the comprehensive plan by the office. A comprehensive plan submitted for
review more than 12 months following a contract end date may be required to contain data,
projections and other time-sensitive portions of the plan or program that are in compliance
with the office's most current review standards.
2. Growth management programs. A municipality or multimunicipal region may at
any time request a certificate of consistency for its growth management program.
