Every aspect of each of these developments is managed by Planned Communities, Inc. This includes acquisition of land, zonings, street and utility development and installation, site selection for schools, parks, and lot development. The two main objectives in all of these projects are to develop at the highest quality level while preserving the natural settings of the sites as much as possible, including trees, other landscape, and waterways.
Planned Communities, Inc. has developed a unique and trusted working relationship with every major builder in central Ohio and an exceptional working relationship with the various jurisdictions in the area. This includes zoning boards, political leaders, utility companies, as well as a range of local citizens groups. We have a working knowledge of where utilities are likely to be extended and how zoning boards are likely to view various kinds of development.
Planned Communities, Inc. has long standing working relationships with all of the major financial institutions in the area. The company has been and remains well positioned financially to handle the ups and downs of the real estate market and to take advantage of current and future opportunities.
Southern Delaware County remains the fastest growing county in Ohio, and the 13th fastest growing county in the United States. Surrounding communities are fortunate to have political structures that support responsible development that benefits the community as a whole. Planned Communities, Inc. is in the advantageous position of being able to select prime development opportunities from a wide range of possible projects.
