About us
”Planning as usual” is not our thing. That’s why we set out almost two decades ago to think about community planning differently. Better. It’s not just what we do. It’s who we are. We’re planning NEXT. Henry Ford said it best: “Coming together is a beginning. Keeping together is progress. Working together is success.” We’re passionate about helping teams, staff, committees and stakeholders share a sense of purpose and place. From comprehensive planning to integrated visioning to facilitating complex, multi-jurisdictional efforts, we help create more enduring, prosperous and livable communities.

Our Team recently explored the creative, hands-on engagement methods from the book Dream Play Build by James Rojas and John Kamp during a "lunch-and-learn" led by Andrew Souders. This exercise reminded us of the power of creativity and play in shaping meaningful community conversations. We are excited to bring these ideas into our work!

What a great panel discussion to kick off the second round of engagement, Focus on the Future, for the Together Knox Comprehensive Plan! Together Knox is an opportunity for anyone who cares about Knox County to help create a plan that will guide the county’s future. A special thanks to the speakers: Jason Duff with Small Nation, Kenny McDonald with OneColumbus, and Dr. Howard Sacks with Kenyon College. You can watch the engaging panel discussion about economics, quality of place, and rural dynamics at togetherknox.org.
Small Nation Founder Jason Duff joined a dynamic panel discussion alongside Jamie Greene and planning NEXT at the Together Knox community open house in Mt. Vernon last week. Held at the historic Woodward Theatre, the event brought together local leaders as they work on Mt. Vernon’s comprehensive community plan. Jason shared insights gained from our experiences in Downtown Bellefontaine and our work with small communities across Ohio. It’s inspiring to see so many communities like Mt. Vernon looking to enhance their downtown spaces, support local businesses, and create a vision for sustainable growth. https://lnkd.in/ekv586Yc
