Consulting & Planning Work

Concord Square has provided consulting services to both private and public sector clients on a variety of initiatives. Examples include, development consulting on a 146 unit transit-oriented residential development in Charlestown, a 125 unit mill conversion in Westford, and several projects in Greenfield, MA; zoning and public policy consulting for three dozen communities in Massachusetts and Connecticut; financial consulting for four separate New Market Tax Credit transactions (two in Greenfield, one in Springfield, and one in Worcester);  planning consulting on a downtown revitalization plan for the Town of Southbridge; and a re-use analysis for the Nichewaug Inn in Petersham.

Additional municipal consulting work included the areas of 40R/40S Smart Growth Zoning, 40A Zoning, 40Q District Improvement Financing, 43D Expedited Permitting, and I-Cubed (the Massachusetts “Infrastructure Investment Incentive” Program).
