OUR PROJECTS
HEALTH & WELLNESS PLANS
The relationship between land use and other town planning decisions and their impact on the health and wellness of residents is increasingly being recognized as a critical component of planning for our communities' futures. Community Circle has dealt with the health and wellness components of community planning as part of its work in several master plans as well as having completed projects whose entire focus is on health and wellness. Including issues of health and wellness in the community conversation has become an increasingly important way to both educate the public as well as to identify their priorities regarding these issues.
