Land Use & Environmental

Land use decisions are increasingly driven by growth and environmental concerns as communities grapple with the benefits and strains of development. Local governments are tasked with balancing the benefit of revenues generated by growth with the increasing burden of providing the public services and infrastructure to support it.

Business plays a large role in strengthening a growing community - from job creation to cultivating a residential and commercial tax base. Though, all too often business finds itself in the crosshairs of opposing forces. Whether it's a developer's proposal or a utility's plans to support it, the emergence of sophisticated organized opposition to new development increasingly calls for grassroots and grasstops mobilization, public relations, and government relations support to achieve success.
