šŸ›ļø New Early Signal: Municipal Hearing Minutes

Apr 16, 2026 – Identify new developments from municipal meetings—before permits are filed.

We’ve added a powerful new dataset to Mercator: Municipal Hearing Minutes—giving you visibility into projects at the earliest possible stage.

With this update, you can now learn about new developments often before any formal paperwork is filed. By capturing discussions from planning boards, zoning committees, and city councils, this dataset surfaces early signals that typically aren’t available in permits or filings.

šŸ” What this means for you:

  • Spot projects earlier than ever — before permits, site plans, or applications exist

  • Get ahead of competitors by identifying opportunities at the discussion stage

  • Track emerging developments directly from municipal decision-making bodies

  • Understand project context through meeting discussions and approvals

This is especially valuable for teams looking to engage early, build relationships sooner, and win more work before projects become widely visible.
