Location Profiling and Site Selection - THP can study the retail, office, and industrial demand in the area of interest and tell you what development is overbuilt, and what sectors are likely to have demand for new property in the future.

Strategic Planning - With fewer resources for economic development, it's important that cities, businesses, and organizations understand the benefits and consequences of their actions. The experienced facilitators at THP will work to develop and focus the mission, objectives, and strategic actions of your organization.

Community Planning

The community and public planning process involves THP professionals working with the community leaders and citizens to development a range of plans and polices for their town or organization. These plans speak to the vision and goals of each place while also being grounded in the pragmatism and reality of limited funds and resources all communities face. Some services we offer include:

Zoning and Code Tactical Planning - THP can research the zoning, codes, and regulatory constraints on your site and tell you what can be built there, and how large it can be. We identify hidden opportunities and overcome the inevitable challenges.

Public Communication - Whether you need a survey, workshop, or public meeting, THP will work with you to get the community input you need to get a project done.

Community Analysis - THP uses GIS, data sets, and other planning tools to understand the economic, social, and environmental forces that influence growth and development within your community.
