For over a decade, Taggart Associates has been "Helping Communities Build Unique Urban Environments." Taggart Associates not only understands the dynamics of urban redevelopment, but is committed to helping create vibrant, healthy downtowns and neighborhoods. We help build unique environments that encourage growth and community spirit based on proven strategies and teamwork.

Environmental Solutions for Creative Growth

State and local land use policies have been evolving rapidly over the last several years, focusing on curbing suburban sprawl and encouraging reinvestment in urban areas. Your being unaware of changes in environmental regulations or being unaware of the proper application of permitting guidelines can significantly impact your environmental development or brownfield project.

Our team is second to none in experience with environmental processes and documentation throughout the tri-state region and beyond. In fact, one of our team’s leading experts managed the preparation of PennDOT's "10 Step Process" for Environmental Impact Statements, Environmental Assessments, and Categorical Exclusion Evaluations. Taggart’s environmental experts use economic and developmental strategies to implement sustainable land use practices.

Specialized Experience:

Environmental liabilities through Pennsylvania’s Act 2 Release Program
Private environmental management insurance mechanisms
Brownfield and urban redevelopment projects
Funding - Leveraging millions of dollars via grant and proposal writing, securing loans and project planning
Greenfield property – project management and funding

Whether you need help in identifying an optimum development site; analyzing a specific site’s fiscal growth and community benefit potential; developing land impact and budget strategies; or need support with environmental assessments and cleanup processes, our team will provide you with the resources essential to having your project goals met effectively.
