The record starts in New Hampshire, 13 October 2008. Since then 245 municipalities in 39 states have put the topic on a meeting record, at very different speeds: Maine, New Hampshire, Massachusetts hold 54% of the dated events between them.
The last 90 days put 24 meetings on the record, well down from 82 in the 90 days before.
It runs through the rooms where budgets and ordinances are made: Planning Board, City Council and Town Council.

The documents naming each, and the threads they sit in, are the account view. If one of these is you, those are your projects on the record. Ask and we will show you every one, and the towns around them, as they move.
Everything above is frozen at 13 September 2026; the topic is not. 81 more events on this topic carry no usable date and are counted, never dated. The counts follow where we read most: a town or a state absent here was not read at depth, and absence is not evidence the topic is absent there. A lighter-read state is not a ceiling; where you care about a region, pointing the system there is the first thing an account changes. How coverage is built, and its known limits: municipalalpha.com/methodology.
We track this topic continuously; this page is one cut of it, taken 13 September 2026. An account turns the snapshot into a working view: every town and every document behind these counts, the thread on each matter as it develops, word of new meetings as they land on the record, your own states and topics side by side, and the data itself when you want it in a table. The towns above are the taste; what each is actually deciding, funding or stalling is the read an account carries.
Each state's name above opens its own page. Counts and dates are computed from the documents on the record; the topic and its definition are ours. This page carries no subscriber content.
