My Consulting Services Are About
Development & LAND-USE with Relationship and responsibility
CONVERGENT'S CONSULTING Perspective and Services
Critical Areas Ordinances and other land-use regulations and restrictions are a result of the need to protect and manage ecological resources, specifically wetlands and streams, amidst wide-spread development. Today, these protections help society to work and build on the land responsibly. Making wise business choices and being land stewards does not have to be odds. Today is the era of "Win-Win" and I support clients to achieve this goal.
Whether developing a property and building a new home or doing a re-design, your project has complex systems that require professional services. I will guide you through the ecological or critical areas process including mitigation or restoration design.
