Land Planning Consulting

Helping grow healthy communities and encouraging people to be good stewards of their land.

Create a better community with the environment in mind.

As our cities and towns grow, it becomes more important to strategize how growth and development happens. We will work with you to bring people together during the planning process to make informed decisions.

Through new strategies and methodologies we can help facilitate meetings which will allow all stakeholders to be heard during the planning process.

Let everyone’s voices be heard.

Learn more about your land.

There are many ways to learn more about the health of your land. With this knowledge you will be able to make more informed decisions, ultimately helping preserve the areas we inhabit.

Protect the beautiful places we call home

When it comes to planning and growth, cities and towns have been making uninformed decisions that are adversely impacting the land around them. We will work with you to make decisions to enhance and protect the areas we call home.

Tell us how we can help build a better community.

We strive to help communities and landowners have a better relationship with their environment. Tell us how we can help you achieve this goal.

Step 1: Tell us about the planning issues

We will schedule an initial kick-off meeting to find out what issues you have identified when it comes to growth and development. Tell us what your goals are and who should be included in the decision making process.

Step 2: Create a plan that fits your needs

Once we have identified the goals of your project we will work closely with you to develop a process which fits your needs. This can include surveys, public meetings, and mapping exercises.

Step 3: negotiations and implementation

Once we have concluded a process of community outreach and gathering information, participants will be guided through structured negotiations to build consensus. The process facilitates more informed, amicable decisions when it comes to planning, growth, and development.
