How do you build strong local economies and vibrant places? This is the aim of community planning as conducted by professionals as well as advocates from all walks of life who want to see their hometown thrive. Since leaving the US Coast Guard I’ve spent over twenty years doing exactly this from almost every vantage point imaginable – Economic Development, Community Outreach, Land Use Planning, Transportation Analysis.Why community planning is such a fascinating and complex process is largely because there are so many competing interests, and aligning collective efforts toward a cohesive vision is never easy. Retailers and restaurants want consumers. Brokers want deals. Developers want projects. Investors want a return on their investment. Businesses want labor, cost savings and growth. Residents and community advocates want quality of life, safety & security and the hope of a prosperous future for their loved ones.And professional staff and expert consultants aim to bring order to the process and get everyone on the same song sheet. It’s both captivating and frustrating – but seeing it from every possible perspective is the first step toward getting beyond counterproductive in-fighting and taking meaningful action to cultivate a resilient and prosperous future for your community.

Listed skills include Land Use, Transportation Planning, Comprehensive Planning, Land Use Planning, and 24 others.
