Regulation

& Policy Development

Planning isn’t just about theory and concept. It is about practice, and about making the idea happen in the real world. This is where regulations and policies come in. Regulations form the structure of implementation, and they can get very complicated.

We bring a deep understanding not only of the statutory basis and limits of local regulation but also an exceptional understanding of how regulations can empower or restrict the ability of property to be developed to the community’s vision.

Our team has taken on projects writing or updating zoning regulations, subdivision regulations, wetlands regulations, municipal ordinances, and state statutes. As Town staff, we are also experienced with the interpretation and enforcement of these policies. These are not just ideas or theories for us. They are tools for moving a community forward while protecting its character and connection to its past.
