We help cities and small developers make visible, meaningful progress.
Real places. Real results. Plans that spark action instead of gathering dust.
50+ Projects in 35 Cities
We work in all kinds of places: rural towns, suburbs, small cities, and big-city neighborhoods. No matter the setting, every community needs progress that’s visible, practical, rooted in what they already have, and aiming for their full potential.
We work side by side with local leaders, City staff, developers, and community groups to identify the next real steps—whether that means filling storefronts, activating public spaces, incubating local businesses, or mapping out small wins that build long-term momentum.
Our approach is flexible, focused, and built to fit each place. No boilerplate. No fluff. Just clear, grounded work that helps places move forward.
Adaptive, Resourceful, Localized
ASH+LIME starts with what’s already working. We strengthen local conditions, support progress that communities can sustain, and share tools that help local leaders take action now—while laying the foundation for lasting impact through placemaking strategies that have stood the test of time.
Our Projects
We focus on downtown planning, local business strategies, storefront strategies, zoning updates, suburban retrofits, and more.
Things are changing faster than most communities can process—budgets, technology, expectations, everything.
The approach we’ve taken since 2013 has prepared us for this moment. We help local leaders cut through the noise with clear, measured, and decisive action—taking the next 10 to 15 steps with people, places, and local business at the center.
