We can do projects directly for municipalities and counties, regional planning agencies, metropolitan planning organizations, and non-profit organizations (NGOs). Typical projects are:
Strategic planning and strategic plans
Master plans
Open Space and Recreation Plans
MVP projects
EOEEA planning projects
Grant writing
Project management
Organizational development
Applied research
In addition, we can customize a multi-disciplinary design studio for planning and sustainability, either through the Center for Resilient Metro-Regions or through our student Regional Planning Studio instructor (click here for more information).
All of the Center's work, as a subdivision of state government, is exempt from MGL Chapter 30B Procurement (Section 1 (3) and 1 (4)) requirements.
For projects through the Center, contact Wayne Feiden, FAICP, Director: wfeiden@umass.edu
