Regrowth Planning is a land use planning firm committed to helping communities realize a vision that is both economically sound and environmentally sensitive.

Many people have the belief that economic prosperity has to come at the expense of natural resources, or that the preservation of natural resources has to come at the expense of economic prosperity. Regrowth Planning believes that an intertwined balance of these two forces ultimately results in the finest communities of all.

Successful communities often provide distinct areas for focused growth while protecting the surrounding natural resources and historic community character which make them an attractive place to live. The most successful communities intertwine these elements to provide beautiful open spaces and attractive community character into their economic development areas, resulting in an attractive community where people really desire to live, work and play. This is the balance which Regrowth Planning seeks to achieve.
