Patterson Farm Reuse Study

Todd was our anchor in bringing objective facts to the table to counterbalance a collection of preconceived notions held across multiple stakeholders. I was particularly impressed with Todd’s willingness and ability to ‘stick to his guns’ and professionally and comfortably repeat realities which were not necessarily popular to hear, but that needed to be heard. ‘Pound-for-pound’ the money spent with 4ward Planning within this immense project had the highest pay-back.

Allegheny County Parks Economic Impact Analysis

4ward Planning partnered with the Allegheny County Parks Foundation to produce the first-ever economic impact study of the nine Allegheny County Parks. What I appreciated most was the time they invested early in the process visiting the parks to gain first-hand, on-the-ground insights. The study has helped us better understand the impact the parks have on local economies and the environment – knowledge that is critical to our work in raising awareness and support for these beautiful assets in our region.
