Our Mission
MDRoffers Consulting LLC seeks to sustain and enhance urban and rural communities, in partnership with our clients and in consideration of fiscal realities.
Our Philosophy and Core Principles
We have built our small, family-run company on the following principles:
- All places—large and small, urban and rural—deserve creative and thorough planning support that combines skilled practice and the art of listening.
- Understanding the complex legal, social, economic, environmental, political, and staffing context of a community is a prerequisite for effective community planning.
- Intergovernmental and public-private partnerships enable efficient service delivery, collaboration on mutually beneficial projects, and avoidance of costly conflicts.
- To be successful in a challenging economic climate, places must proactively consider their assets, understand their role in their region, and capture their opportunities.
- Working collaboratively and brainstorming ideas in an open and transparent process are essential for building public support for and achieving solutions.
- Community stakeholders deserve a role in forming the vision and policies that shape their communities, via professional design and facilitation of input opportunities.
- Long-term, trusting professional relationships between consultant and client unlock solutions to community development challenges.
