The Massachusetts 9% Atlas: milestones in order, each with one line of executive truth and its guide
The Massachusetts Atlas as a reader sees it: the milestones in order; each opens to its guide.
The pathway

12 milestones, from site to Form 8609.

Each milestone opens to its tasks, each task to its actions and the proof package it must produce. One line of each milestone's executive truth, as the edition reads today.

  1. Site Control & DiligenceThis stage decides whether the project is built on an acceptable site and whether the sponsor controls the whole property on usable terms.
  2. Predevelopment: Design, Green Standards & Team AssemblyThis stage turns a promising concept into a controlled application basis that can survive cross-review.
  3. Pre-Application to EOHLCThis stage decides whether the project has a documented path into the Winter 2027 full application.
  4. Full Application Assembly, Submission & Threshold CriteriaThis stage decides whether the project reaches Competitive Scoring at all.
  5. Competitive ScoringCompetitive Scoring turns the filed Massachusetts application into the score position that determines whether award review can proceed.
  6. Award, Reservation & CommitmentAn award is not yet an operating baseline.
  7. Carryover Allocation & Ten Percent TestCarryover Allocation & Ten Percent Test turns a reservation into the record Massachusetts can rely on for carryover allocation.
  8. Construction Financing Closing & Construction ExecutionConstruction Financing Closing & Construction Execution decides whether the deal can move from awarded commitments to an occupied asset without losing control of either money or field performance.
  9. Placed in Service & Lease-UpPlaced in Service & Lease-Up turns completed buildings into a defensible first-occupancy record.
  10. Cost Certification, Form 8609 & Final AllocationCost Certification, Form 8609 & Final Allocation converts the completed project into the cost and credit record the agencies will recognize.
  11. Compliance Operations CurrentCompliance Operations Current is the point where Massachusetts tax-credit compliance becomes a standing operating discipline rather than a closing exercise.
  12. Year 15, Extended Use & DispositionYear 15 does not end the project's affordability story.
Inside the edition

The guide, the Gantt and the calendar.

01

The guide

Every milestone, task, action, proof package and document of the Massachusetts 9% deal, written to be read, not recited — what this task validates, why it matters, where it sits, what “done” looks like, the watchouts, and the requirement it comes from.

02

The Gantt

The deal in time: how long the work takes, and which waits sit with the agency, the lender or the municipality, not with you. A gate closes every milestone, and the Gantt shows what the gate needs before it opens.

03

The calendar

Massachusetts's clocks — what starts each one, how long it runs, the condition it depends on and where the rule is written. The ones that decide a round, a reservation, a carryover, a placed-in-service date.

Who it is for

Developers, consultants and counsel who are responsible for knowing what a Massachusetts 9% deal requires, and for being right about it. If a new project manager could run your next application from it without asking you twice, it did its job.

An edition is one state and one program. It is read on the web, signed in; it is not a PDF. $500 a year per edition, renews until cancelled; your subscription carries every update.
