Community
Planning

MSG’s community planning practice encompasses all of the mainstays of traditional urban planning on behalf of rural, suburban and urban localities. We work directly with municipal clients and their partners to create community-oriented plans that satisfactorily meet the needs of all stakeholders and prioritize long range fiscal health.

 

We work directly with municipal staff and your community to create comprehensive plans that are realistically-implementable. Resources, roadmaps and actionable-toolkits are provided throughout and after the planning process to ensure timely and fiscally feasible realization of plans. 

 

We utilize an extensive public participatory planning process and overlay a data-driven approach to ensure plans are derived from a diversity of information. This comprehensive approach allows municipalities to leverage existing assets and create compelling and financially resilient centerpiece communities.
