Planning

PACE’s planning group specializes in comprehensive water, sewer, and stormwater plans. While our planning documents comply with regulatory requirements, our primary goal is to develop detailed, useful, and relevant plans that our clients can use every day. Our expertise at assessing and forecasting the needs of our clients helps PACE planners create strategies for improvement and expansion that are tailored for future growth.

PACE planners successfully develop realistic financing solutions for our clients, including strategies for rate setting and securing low-interest loans, grants, and local improvement district funding. Because our comprehensive plans are often the first step in long-term relationships with our clients, our planners identify efficient strategies for collaborating with other PACE divisions by looking at the present and future needs of each client and every project.
