 “Strategic community planning for the development of cities, towns and communities is the key focus of Benchmark, a local government service company initially established in 1982 as Stark-Wilson Associates. Strategic community planning and development have long since been a necessity for any community, city or town looking to grow. Since our inception our emphasis has been on community, city and town planning, community development, land use plans, annexation, zoning, development ordinances, public administration and code enforcement activities for public agencies. Our approach to strategic community planning is to serve as an internal component of the agency, as flexible staffing, not as a consultant unless desired by the client jurisdiction.
Our strategic community planning concept of ‘public service through private enterprise’ has been developed to serve as an extension of the local jurisdiction in the capacity we have been hired to provide. This strategic community planning concept approach offers access to experience and talent that is often not available through the hiring of one individual in a community planning position. In these circumstances our personnel fill the needs of the agency, often utilizing the talents of more than one individual to serve in the single position. Our staff is flexible and available individually or in teams, to fit the client's needs. We also use the latest in community planning techniques, maintain our own Geographic Information System (GIS) and keep abreast of legislation and court decisions that affect our clients' interests.
The information that you have before you presents our firm, our strategic community planning concept and the unique nature of Benchmark CMR, Inc. in the public service arena. We welcome you to the innovation that is present in the firm and hope that you will find our services useful to you as a community leader and to the citizens your organization serves.”
