Defining a Community’s Vision
A community’s values should guide local government actions, shaping goals and initiatives that reflect public priorities. Our planners engage residents to understand what makes a place unique, ensuring that plans are built around local perspectives. Preserving natural features, landmarks, and businesses is key to preserving and fostering a community’s identity while adapting to evolving needs.
To ensure lasting impact, our Community Planning Team prioritizes measurable and actionable implementation strategies in all Comprehensive Land Use Plans. This approach provides staff, stakeholders, and elected officials with a clear, effective tool for guiding development decisions and shaping the community’s future.
Resiliency Planning
The climate is changing, and the past is no longer a reliable guide for the future. Whether your community is coastal, riverine, in the Piedmont, or in the mountains, our multidisciplinary team, comprised of stormwater modelers, engineers, planners, landscape architects, and funding experts, supports communities through vulnerability assessments, engagement, project prioritization, funding strategy, and implementation.
CAMA Consideration
Coastal areas are susceptible to a diverse and variable array of natural hazards. Our experience in coastal planning creates strategies to understand, combat, and adapt to these hazards while preserving local character. Oceanfront, inner coastal, riverine, and bay communities all have unique challenges and opportunities. We provide perspective and insight to reveal these distinctions in a plan that supports local quality of life.
