Alternative Financing and Delivery Framework: MAP

April 27, 2022

Graham’s exclusive MAP (Municipal Alternative Partnership) is a fully customizable financing and delivery framework designed to meet the unique needs of municipalities, regardless of project size. Built on a 50/50 partnership model, MAP ensures that municipalities maintain full control over the development, financing, and delivery of their infrastructure projects, while benefiting from a collaborative approach.

MAP is ideal for projects that involve both construction and financing components, with the flexibility to extend services to include front-end design, as well as long-term operations and maintenance.

Key advantages of MAP include:

  • Full Municipal Control: Municipalities retain ownership of the infrastructure and benefit from all long-term financial gains.
  • Flexible Structuring: MAP preserves municipal borrowing limits, ensuring greater financial flexibility.
  • Scalability: Suitable for projects as small as $20M, with the ability to scale up to meet larger infrastructure needs.

This framework offers an innovative alternative to typical public-private partnerships, prioritizing municipal control and financial stability.
