PLANNING & PROJECT MANAGEMENT

Facilitating an effective approach to change through research, spatial analysis, meaningful engagement, and comprehensive design. Our work is place-based, specific, and carefully crafted by our team.

Our planning and project management efforts seek social, environmental, and economic benefit for our land and communities. We engage with local leaders and residents to understand where they are now and proactively plan for growth and change. We offer a range of services, from short and long-term project management for communities and counties to executing a city Comprehensive Plan, a Parks System Master Plan within a county, or a Watershed Plan that spans several counties.

Watershed Plans

Water quality and water quantity issues are best addressed with attention to geographic watershed boundaries. Solving urban and rural storm water runoff problems such as flash-flooding and source water contamination, requires effective stakeholder engagement and technical analysis. Our team gathers soil, slope, and infrastructure data from local and state agencies, does on-site ground truthing, and synthesizes input to allow for measurable and achievable priorities for action.

Stormwater Best Management & Floodplain Management

Geographic spatial analyses that provide location-specific plans for managing stormwater runoff. These plans include soil, slope, and infrastructure data analysis as well as on-site verification to mitigate water quantity and quality issues. Our team focuses on the implementing environmentally-sensitive best management practices, such as bioswales and prairie plantings.

Comprehensive Plans

Comprehensive Plans seek to address issues along a 10-15 year time frame, where infrastructure improvements and economic development will attract and retain residents. Our team collects data through both spatial analyses and community engagement (e.g. interactive websites, real-time polling during meetings, and local surveys).
