Whitestown Planning and Zoning Services, Whitestown, INTo be successful, most planning activities will reflect the vision of the community, entity, or organization involved. Frequently the final plan must be able to communicate that vision verbally and graphically.
GRW's planning projects range from municipal unified development ordinances, to area development plans, to multi-building industrial complexes, and to joint-use military installations. Planning assignments are augmented by in-house tools such as web-based technology, GIS, aerial photography and 3d visualization.
