Our community planning process brings into focus the community’s priorities. 

Any planning process has the potential to elevate the many voices of community members. To be clear, our planning process relies on community input. Here’s why: if community members believe they have a stake in the future of their community and have received the invitation to create it, they become more engaged to achieve it.

Where is your community going? 

Is your community growing or shrinking? Perhaps your community is maturing? Or maybe your community is caught up in a whirlwind of new opportunities?  Maybe it’s hard to say what exactly is going on. With the latest decennial Census data release, useful information on any community is available. Add to it the proprietary data our team has on the economic trends and health of your community, as well as community insights and engagement, and we can begin to paint a detailed picture of where your community is and how it got here. 

Does your community have a plan? 

A community plan that sits on a shelf isn’t going to help any community. It’s also true that community priorities can change over time – and that’s often why these planning documents end up on a bookshelf. We can take a look at the shelved plans; prior planning documents are useful artifacts to begin discussion with your community planning team.  

Commitment

The financial commitment for community planning can vary, due to the level of community engagement, the number of facilitators needed and the scope of planning desired. Typically, our services range from $10,000 to $50,000. Contact us to further discuss your community’s goals.
