A group of owners and operators met in 1998 to organize support for the Self-Storage Industry on a local level. Although there has been energetic activity on the national scene for self-storage, owners and operators in Massachusetts felt something closer to their home communities was needed. Thus, a non-profit organization committed to strengthening and enhancing the self-storage industry in the Commonwealth as well as increasing educational opportunities and raising the bar of service and competence came into existence and has been growing ever since!
