As of late 2022, the ESRI ArcGIS Collector app is no longer available on the App Store and Google Play. In addition, updates and tech support will be discontinued. All users, especially those in our region who use the app to access our online trail data for Pelham and Merrimack (and coming soon to Hudson), should download ESRI's new app called Field Maps. Field Maps folds in the functionality of Collector with some of ESRI's other mobile apps, and the user experience for finding and using our trail apps is virtually identical.
To download the new app, go to your mobile device's app store and search for "ArcGIS Field Maps".

June 5, 2023, 12:00 - 1:30PM
With billions of dollars in competitive funding available to municipalities across dozens of new and existing federal programs, municipalities have many opportunities to secure funding for critical public infrastructure and other projects to improve their communities. In this webinar, NHMA will introduce the launch of a new “pilot program,” in partnership with Arnett Development Group (ADG), to provide coaching and technical assistance to help smaller population municipalities become better positioned to apply for these types of competitive federal grants. Margaret Byrnes, NHMA’s Executive Director, will describe the new service and the purpose and goals of the pilot program, as well as how and when interested municipalities can apply.
Katherine Heck, NHMA’s Government Finance Advisor, will then provide an overview of federal funding opportunities available to cities and towns and highlight grant opportunities available through the Infrastructure Investments and Jobs Act (BIL/IIJA) and the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA). She will also cover how municipalities can access these funding streams, which are available to communities of all sizes.
NHMA workshops and webinars are limited to NHMA members.
