For a community to evolve into a quality place to live, work, and explore, it starts with a vision. ISG's Planning Group helps bring visions to reality through a strategic process that results in an actionable, and holistic plan, also known as a Community Development Plan (Plan).

Traveling through other communities, do you find yourself envious of the culture, vibrancy, and growth they are experiencing? Do you ever wish your own city was a destination for new people, recreation, and business? Thriving communities didn’t wave a magic wand to have flower baskets appear downtown, a splash pad at the community park, or new housing development near the growing school district. There is no magic wand or formula to bring about the change you want to see in your community, but instead proactive, intentional planning.

ISG has worked with communities throughout the Midwest to design roadways with pedestrian users in mind and challenge conventional understandings associated with bump outs and curb extensions.
