Miller Planning Associates specializes in providing land use planning, development code, and zoning services for local governments.
Our approach is grounded in extensive coordination with community members and stakeholders, as well as in thorough, objective research and best practice analysis.
After 20 years of working in private firms and the public sector, Martha Miller began Miller Planning Associates to provide each client and project the time and individual attention it deserves. We are intentionally a small firm, only committing to a limited number of new projects each year in order to give each client personal attention. Each assignment is approached with an open mind, and provided strategic, context-based solutions that address the unique issues and needs facing each client.
