AKRF provides comprehensive planning services for smart, sustainable, and economically viable land development and preservation.

On behalf of towns, villages, cities, and counties we prepare and review SEQRA related documents; review site and subdivision applications; write and revise zoning codes; prepare and update land use, comprehensive, recreation, open space, local waterfront revitalization, and farmland protection plans; prepare economic impact analyses; and apply for grants to support initiatives.

On the private side, AKRF works with commercial and residential real estate developers, not-for-profit housing groups, and land trusts to support development, conservation, recreation, and transportation-related projects from site selection and due diligence through entitlements.

Our thought leaders are regularly called upon by professional and industry organizations to share their expertise on a variety of topics including housing, climate change, zoning, planning ethics, environmental review, and more.
