Uintah Fire SSD Community Wildfire Preparedness Plan (CWPP)

“Rural Community Consultants was asked to help our Fire District develop wildfire preparedness plans (CWPP). Their team started with a template that was provided by the state, but ended with something that had a broader appeal. Our Board and member communities appreciated their efforts to reach-out to the public and to work with us to develop actionable and implementable solutions.” – Jeremy Raymond, Director, Uintah Fire SSD

Brian Head Sustainable Tourism + Recreation Master Plan

“Brian Head is known as a popular winter resort destination, and its economic impact on the region is on the rise. We wanted to think strategically about how we could align our different year-round recreation opportunities and infrastructure in order to be deliberate about our future. Rural Community Consultants were able to help us coordinate the different agendas of federal, state, and county land management stakeholders into an actionable strategy that will help us make decisions as we rebuild through our fire event and beyond.” – Bret Howser, Town Manager

Mayfield Town General Plan

“Public interaction was our highest priority during the development of our general plan.

Parowan Community Assessment and General Plan

“Rural Community Consultants’ assessment of Parowan helped our City move forward. They took the time to really listen to our City Council, staff, business owners, and residents to understand our gaps and strategic priorities. Our Planning Commission began implementation of the land use recommendations in the same meeting where they were presented. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them.” – Josh Jones, Parowan City Manager

All project due dates were met and the resulting plan will protect the interests of the county going forward.” – Commissioner Bill Lee
