CR Planning, Inc. was formed as a corporation in 2003 by individuals committed to inclusive, stakeholder-driven planning processes. Tapping into a community's primary resource, its people, CR Planning facilitates local and regional decisions about natural and built resources. The firm is committed to ensuring that community stakeholders make informed choices, thus promoting the sustainable management of local resources, enhancing recreational assets, and maintaining natural systems. CR Planning advocates for planning goals that belong to the entire community. We believe the full range of community stakeholders should participate in all steps of the planning process.

The firm's two principals, Brian Ross and Jean Coleman, have developed a network for

teaming with small and large design and engineering firms to allow maximum flexibility for meeting each client's specific needs. Our team includes skilled facilitators accustomed to working with committees with a variety of perspectives. We bring a broad range of technical skills to the planning process, including data analysis, GIS analysis, and report production. We can produce written and visual materials targeted to a variety of audiences.

CR Planning principals assist communities that are developing planning goals, and can support goal implementation through our ordinance and program development experience. We have full software capability and application experience, including ArcView and ArcMap, spreadsheet, database, and desktop publishing software.

Helping communities take control of their future and meet their land use, economic development,
natural resource, and energy goals
