Our region’s housing needs and the policies shaping future developments are a central topic of discussion in our communities. With each new development announcement, residents often ask whether the project is beneficial for the community, and many struggle with how to assess this. This challenge is shared not only by everyday residents but also by our local leaders.

At MountainTrue, we are frequently consulted on proposed developments due to our expertise in regional environmental matters. From stormwater concerns to tree canopy to connectivity, we have a depth of knowledge amongst our various staff that helps us evaluate projects thoughtfully from different angles.
