After the 2020 Census, the core area of the Mat-Su Borough was designated an \u201cUrbanized Area\u201d thus triggering the need to establish a Metropolitan Planning Area (MPA) to be governed by a newly established Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO). The Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) is a transportation decision-making and planning body with representatives of local, state & federal government and transportation authorities. It is mandated by the federal government for urban areas with a population greater than 50,000. The MPA boundary encompasses the new Urbanized Area and the contiguous area that is expected to become urbanized within a 20-year forecast period.<\/SPAN><\/P><\/DIV>", "summary": "The Metropolitan Planning Area (MPA) was established after the 2020 Census identified the core area of the Borough as an Urbanized Area.", "title": "Administrative_MetropolitanPlanningArea", "tags": [ "Matanuska-Susitna Borough", "Matanuska Susitna Borough", "Matanuska", "Susitna", "Borough", "MatSu", "Mat-Su", "Mat-Su Borough", "MatSu Borough", "MSB", "Alaska", "Mat-Su Valley", "South Central Alaska", "Planning", "MPA", "MPO", "Metropolitan Planning Area", "borough", "Corporate Boundary Themes", "Administrative" ], "type": "Map Service", "typeKeywords": [ "Data", "Service", "Map Service", "ArcGIS Server" ], "thumbnail": "thumbnail/thumbnail.png", "url": "", "extent": [ [ -149.712758884605, 61.4731280162518 ], [ -149.059703082861, 61.6973085577107 ] ], "minScale": 0, "maxScale": 1.7976931348623157E308, "spatialReference": "NAD_1983_StatePlane_Alaska_4_FIPS_5004_Feet", "accessInformation": "MatSuBorough", "licenseInfo": "
