Community Planning & the Military

Military communities today face new and emerging challenges. Missions and operations are changing. Military planes are changing.  And communities continue to grow and to seek out needed economic development opportunities.

We have helped communities around the country face these challenges by developing meaningful analysis, defensible policy alternatives, and implementation tools that are tailored to the local context of the installation.

White Smith Cousino's planners and subject matter experts  bring a personal approach to our military compatibility projects and public outreach.
