People ▼ Experience ▼ Locations Viewpoints News & Insights Careers ▼ State & Local Governments What makes communities meaningful? Community leaders partner with VHB to answer that question and shape places that benefit the common good. State and local governments look to us as a vital extension of their staff. Our integrated team of engineers, scientists, and planners keeps clients informed about new technologies, design trends, legislative mandates, environmental regulations, and community concerns—all while maintaining a focus on local priorities. We routinely sit around the table with state and civic leaders to brainstorm, plan, and wrestle with big ideas. We advance projects by solving funding problems, identifying alternate delivery methods, fostering collaboration across diverse demographics, and facilitating relationships between public and private entities. We pride ourselves on delivering creative, practical solutions for state and local clients, enabling them to move our society forward—and create meaningful communities. Mike McArdle Chief Development Officer Featured Services Healthy Communities We want to live in a place that keeps getting better: wider sidewalks, multimodal bike paths, affordable housing, and accessible parks. Our planners use a smart blend of public health data, transportation planning, 3D visualization and stakeholder engagement to spur equity and sustainability. Public Meetings A big project needs big buy-in, especially when it affects a diverse set of stakeholders. We tackle tough communication and technical challenges that accompany public meetings at Planning Boards, Town Halls, and Zoning Commissions. From dial-in to download, we move stakeholder initiatives forward. Asset Management Municipalities face many challenges, but few as important as where to spend the next infrastructure dollar. At VHB, we harnessed the power of technology to turn your asset data into something useful, so you can make smart decisions around inventory, allocation, and prioritization of assets.
