The
collective experience and expertise of DPN consultants bring a
multi-disciplined perspective and planning approach to downtown
initiatives. Our team uses its experience to involve
stakeholders in efforts to develop plans and strategies that capture the
spirit of the community’s vision for downtown.
Vision
Design and Strategic Planning
We
understand the complexities of effective downtown revitalization
strategies. Plans that are
primarily design-based in nature usually fail to adequately address the
broader range of issues and factors that are at least equally important in
determining a downtown’s level of prosperity.
Our team analyzes and considers social and economic factors, investors’
attitudes, local issues, and regulations related to public improvements,
private investment, marketing, and the strategy’s overall
implementation.
We
bring unique skills and expertise to the task of creating
effective plans and strategies:
-
We
have a strong track record in downtown planning, redevelopment,
management and marketing
-
We
bring the unique perspective of a private sector developer with an
extensive experience in downtown rehabilitation and redevelopment
projects
-
We
have developed practical methods and programs for involving the
public and decision makers to build consensus
-
We
understand how to create links between planning and implementation
-
We
recognize the importance of communicating plans and designs in ways
that can be understood by the community
We
become active partners in the community’s initiative, working closely
with you to develop creative strategies and solutions that can be
readily implemented at the local level.
We
like to create an air of excitement that injects enthusiasm into the process,
making it fun for community leaders and stakeholders to participate. We
work energetically to build upon the each community’s past work and to
facilitate the creation of plans and strategies that are locally
recognized and embraced as each community’s own – the product of your
vision, creativity and ingenuity.
