Sound Strategies for Sustainable
Communities
Community
Planning & Design
Planning and design choices have
an enormous impact on community livability. Many communities along
designated or
prospective scenic byways undertake a collaborative planning and design
process as part of a corridor management planning effort.
Our services include community visioning and workshop facilitation,
design guidelines, resource assessment, and
preservation planning.
