Meeting Communities Where They Are to Build Capacity for
Climate, Energy, and Environmental Projects

     MSU's Mountains and Plains Thriving Communities Collaborative (MaPTCC, pronounced "map-tek") promotes climate, energy, and environmental projects across EPA Region 8: Colorado, Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, Utah, and Wyoming, with a focus on the region's 28 federally recognized Tribal Nations, as well as cities, small towns, and rural areas. We offer free expert support to empower individuals and organizations in developing projects for healthy communities and environments.

MaPTCC's Impact

    Through our growing network, we empower rural, Tribal, and urban communities to overcome barriers and build sustainable economic prosperity and healthier environments. MaPTCC continues to expand its reach and advance critical projects across Region 8.

    Since our launch in August 2024, we have provided targeted technical assistance to communities while building strong partnerships across multiple sectors including energy, community development, public health, food access, conservation, and Tribal affairs. These strategic connections provide valuable resources that we leverage to support your specific project needs.
