What to Expect in the Pre-Development Phase

Initial Consultation: We'll meet with you to understand your project's unique aspects and provide tailored advice to help you move forward confidently—whether it’s continuing to build your project concept, get connected to explore funding opportunities, or preparing for site plan review.

Essential Information: You’ll get a single point of contact who will serve to guide your project through the development process. You’ll get connected to what your project needs—essential details on zoning rules, site requirements, or scheduled for a project review meeting to ensure your project aligns with local standards.

Clear Steps Forward: If your project encounters challenges or seems to stall between application or review stages, we can connect you with the appropriate reviewers, programs, and departments to help maintain progress. While we do not replace existing staff roles, we ensure that your project continues to move forward smoothly.
