## Questions about land use decisions

### Why do some projects have no asset class?

Boardwalk records only what the public filing states. When a filing doesn't say what kind, the project has no asset class.

### Can I get an Alert for new land use decisions?

Yes, a Boardwalk Alert emails you new land use decisions daily, weekly, or monthly, for the places you pick.
