Success Does Not Just Happen, It’s Planned
H&H’s Community Planning Group assists villages, towns, and cities in envisioning and preparing for the future and identifying the policies, programs, and infrastructure investments that will lead them on the path forward.
Our work takes on various forms, from leading a community visioning process and drafting a comprehensive plan to formulating downtown revitalization strategies and advising a planning board on zoning matters. We look for new and creative ways to approach our projects and tailor the process and product to the place.
Responding to the challenges facing communities today requires strategizing across discipline and departmental boundaries and understanding a community’s unique needs, strengths, and priorities. We undertake substantive online and in-person public engagement that involves municipal boards and committees, connects with local organizations and institutions, and inspires participation from residents of all walks of life.
We provide realistic implementation guidance for plans by prioritizing initiatives and dividing the most ambitious ones into smaller action items to be accomplished over time.
