We’re excited to announce that Highland Planning has been chosen to join the design team for Rochester’s new High Falls State Park! As part of a collaborative effort led by landscape architecture firm OLIN, we’ll be working alongside other local consultants to bring this transformative project to life.

In keeping with Governor Hochul and Micron’s emphasis on meaningful, ground-up participation in the Green CHIPS Community Investment Fund, the program guidelines center on the grassroots priorities outlined in the recently released Community Priorities Document,  from the Central New York Community Engagement Committee which was created with support from Highland Planning.
