PUSHING PAST PARALYSIS

Many towns suffer from Planning Paralysis, but all solutions are as unique as the problems they solve.

ASH+LIME believes that plans are only as good as the impact they have on the community, which is why we have a long history of implemented recommendations and repeat clients. Plans are not just documents, they are calls to action. They are community conversations, and we work hard to honor them and actively pursue their chosen futures. Learn more about how we can support your community and BE BOLD, NOT RECKLESS!

How we do it:

• Small Investments — do what you can with what you have, and understand what you need and where you can get it

• Civic Engagement — help the community better create its vision for the future, what has worked and what got in the way

• Lower Barriers — support new entrepreneurs and expand existing small businesses that are essential to the vibrancy and economy of the city

• Prototyping — stay flexible with designs and make small bets/ models for rapid feedback

• Placemaking — great places, when centered on the human experience, feel organic and welcoming for everyone

• Cultivate Local Leadership — local leaders are the powerhouse of a city, and with their support, they can help meet community needs and build wealth

• Fill in Key Gaps — gaps in a city’s administrative process can be as damaging as gaps in infrastructure, so we identify them all

• Measure Results — identify success, measure, repeat

• Focus on Outcomes — the plan is not the end result for us, the focus is on transformation and tangible solutions for your community

Incremental doesn’t mean small, it means immediate!

→ Today’s communities need bold steps taken to improve their health, safety, economic opportunity, and welfare, but insist on the responsible use of their tax dollars.

Our Resourceful, Adaptive, and Localized approach supports communities so they don’t have to save up for a big bulldozer. We can guide you to the best places to chip at the ground with the tools you can have to get these projects started!
