Behan Planning and Design's practice recognizes the need to create a positive future for our communities by planning for that future. This positive future can be secured by proactive government action, by the work of the nonprofit sector, and by private enterprise. The key is to understand the forces of change-and to guide investments to take maximum advantage of those forces. Behan Planning and Design recognizes that the human factor is a vital ingredient in a successful endeavor. We commit ourselves to our clients' needs. We provide professional services and coordinate the work of other professionals involved in an assignment. Behan Planning and Design seeks professional relationships with those whose activities support improving the quality of life for people. Below is a listing of some of our current and past projects, grouped by our core practice areas. Links to project summaries are included when available. This list, and the associated links are continually being updated.
