Demystifying the planning process.

At Nethery Planning, we're not just land use planners.

With a rich history in public practice, our founder makes planning more accessible—even fun!—offering developers and the broader public a clear path through the complexities of city hall—and municipalities a foundation for stronger relationships with their residents.

At the heart of every thriving community is a team that understands not just the "how," but the "why" of development. At Nethery Planning, we're committed to honesty, integrity, and a seamless, easy-to-navigate partnership. Join us in paving the way for change, one well-planned step at a time..
