Boston Planning & Development Agency (BPDA) Impact Advisory Group (IAG)
Anthony D'Isidoro
Hello Everyone,
If you are interested in serving on an Impact Advisory Group in general or for a specific project:
Send your name and address, contact information and a brief biography to any or all of your elected officials and/or the Mayor’s Office of Neighborhood Services.
I will try to send out action alerts as soon as I know a Letter of Intent has been filed for a project requiring an Impact Advisory Group.

Why is an Impact Advisory Group appointed?
An IAG is a group of individuals chosen to formally examine the impacts of a proposed project and make recommendations on mitigation. An IAG is composed of up to fifteen (15) members, a majority of whom are residents, business owners, or designees of community organizations within the impacted area. IAGs are required for large project review (New Construction: Greater than or equal to 50,000 sf)
How are IAGs appointed?
The Mayor appoints the IAG, drawing nominations from the district City Councilor, State Representative, and State Senator as well as recommendations from the at-large City Councilors and the Mayor’s Office of Neighborhood Services.
How does an IAG get assembled?
- The developer submits a Letter of Intent to the BPDA, informing the agency that the developer intends to begin the Article 80 process.
- Upon receipt of the Letter, the BPDA solicits nominations for IAG from the district
- City Councilor, State Representative, and State Senator. The BPDA also seeks input from at-large City Councilors and the Mayor's Office of Neighborhood Services.
- After a period of seven (7) days, the Mayor appoints the project's IAG from assembled nominations and recommendations.
- The Article 80 review process begins when the Developer submits a Project Notification
- Form ("PNF"). The developer then adheres to all Article 80 and BPDA public review requirements, including a community meeting within the impacted area.
- The frequency of the IAG meetings varies with the complexity of the Article 80 project.
- The IAG participates in the BPDA's Scoping Session on the project and offers suggestions to the BPDA on the project impacts and appropriate mitigation.
- Prior to final execution, the BPDA provides copies of the draft Cooperation Agreement to members of the IAG for review and comment.
- After review of the Cooperation Agreement, the IAG‘s role is complete.

Hi Mike,
Filing with the BPDA is one thing.
Posting it on their website is another.
I have yet to see a post on the website.
