EPR provides comprehensive planning services to cities, counties, and towns across Virginia and Maryland. Our plans are grounded in meaningful public engagement and designed to guide community development in key areas such as land use, transportation, economic growth, environmental sustainability, and recreation. Whether developing a new plan or updating an existing one, our typical process spans 12 to 24 months and begins with a review of current conditions and a collaborative community visioning effort.

We work closely with local planning staff and elected officials to translate a community’s vision into actionable strategies. EPR leads every phase of the planning process, including research and analysis, stakeholder and public engagement, plan development, and implementation guidance. Each plan is designed to be inclusive, data-informed, and easy to use.

Our comprehensive plans typically include demographic and transportation analysis, review of past and regional plans, community visioning and goal setting, multi-modal transportation strategies, future land use mapping, optional small area plans, and clearly defined implementation actions. Whether serving small towns, rural counties, or fast-growing metropolitan areas, EPR helps local governments craft customized, forward-looking plans that support long-term community goals.
