Community Planning
D&K’s planners work with communities to develop thoughtful and implementable plans that help them achieve their vision of the future. We understand that policy, planning, and regulatory decisions affect air and water quality, access to transportation, economic vitality, and overall quality of life. Effective community planning policy requires an individualized approach that is dependent on the size, needs, and vision of the community. An engaged public that understands available challenges, opportunities, and options is essential to good community planning.
Our staff has experience in municipal and regional planning, facilitation, and outreach, including the use of visioning techniques such as design charrettes, public forums, focus groups and community surveys. D&K uses online polling, virtual meetings, and social platforms to enable broad public participation. We develop site master plans, municipal plans, land use regulations and codes, resiliency and environmental protection planning, community revitalization strategies, and renewable energy planning and policy.
