Places Associates, Inc. offers continuing and/or one-time services directly to town boards and departments. Services have ranged from acting Town Engineer to contractual municipal consulting to providing reviews of individual reports and plans. We have reviewed a range of projects including subdivisions; residential, commercial, industrial, and solar site plans; and comprehensive permit (40B) housing and common driveways for compliance with regulations and sound engineering practices. We have provided construction inspections of roadways, reviews of bond releases and road acceptances, and reviews of existing drainage issues under litigation for various towns.

Our Home-Town Advantage

All members of our professional staff have served or currently serve on their local municipal volunteer boards including Board of Selectmen, Planning Boards, Conservation Commissions, Capital Planning, Affordable Housing, By-law Review Committees, and more.

We believe that our staff’s involvement with their hometown boards gives us the unique perspective of understanding the issues and concerns of volunteer board members as we help the Boards evaluate the projects before them. We have also worked with boards on updates and implementation of changing technologies in their regulations and zoning. We accomplish this by providing language clarification, specifications, and a working knowledge of the changes happening in other municipalities.
