At the MMDC, we are passionate about partnering with our regional stakeholders, including municipalities, to create stronger communities through thoughtful planning.
Comprehensive Planning
A comprehensive plan is a long-range plan that identifies a community’s development goals. These plans typically include implementation strategies and objectives for housing, land use, economic development, transportation, parks, community facilities, and environmental sustainability. MMDC’s planning experts will assist your community in developing a quality comprehensive plan that will guide your community’s development for a decade or more.
Resiliency Planning
Energy and environment resiliency planning is a tool communities use to develop strategies that support their energy, conservation, sustainability, public health, and environmental emergency management goals. These plans are often developed to complement comprehensive plans, though can also be completed when a current comprehensive plan has not yet been completed. MMDC can help communities create resiliency plan that is tailored to your landscape and supports local vitality for generations.
Historic Preservation and Rehabilitation Planning
As a form of infill development, historic preservation and rehabilitation can provide usable and attractive buildings on land that is already developed and helps to preserve the charm of your community. The MMDC will help you develop plans to promote this type of community rejuvenation.
Park Planning
As they support health, well-being, recreation, and a sense of community and pride, quality parks and trails are an asset to any locality. A park or trail master plan is a road map to develop multi-year vision for community’s (e.g., city, county) shared spaces.. Parks and/or trails plans include priorities identified by your residents and leaders, as well as strategies to complete these projects over time. MMDC’s planning professionals will work with your community to develop goals that preserve and enhance your green spaces and related facilities.
