Our Mission

We are urban planning and design professionals who work with the community to develop the vision and implementation strategies that guide growth and development so that it enhances the quality of life for present and future generations. 

 

The 2023-2025 Planning Work Program is a report that documents our recent accomplishments and what we plan to do in the near future.

 

Current Initiatives and Projects

Our goal is to guide community growth and development in a manner that protects environmental resources, enhances quality of life, promotes distinctive neighborhoods and a vibrant downtown, and involves citizens in the decisions that affect them.

One Tacoma Plan

One Tacoma is the City's Comprehensive Plan--it guides our community's development over the long term and describes how our community's vision for the future is to be achieved. In short, it is a blueprint for the future character of our city.
