The Northeastern Pennsylvania Alliance (NEPA), in cooperation with the Local Development District Association of Pennsylvania has instituted the Municipal Technology Assistance Program (MTAP) through a contract with the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.

Through the MTAP program, NEPA offers new computer systems to local governments (including fire/police departments, municipal authorities, and EMS) at significantly discounted rates. In addition to the prearranged low cost, grants are available for internet access/upgrades and website development/upgrades to qualifying municipalities/counties. Municipal and county governments throughout NEPA’s seven county region consisting of Carbon, Lackawanna , Luzerne, Monroe , Pike, Schuylkill and Wayne are eligible for this program.
