Hi, I’m Ashley Stephens, AICP — a certified Town Planner, Zoning Enforcement Officer, and Wetlands Agent with five years of experience helping communities, property owners, developers, engineers, lawyers, and real estate professionals navigate planning and zoning challenges.

I founded Land Use Logistics with a simple mission: to make land use clear and accessible. Too often, zoning and permitting feel overwhelming — I help you cut through the complexity, understand your options, and move forward with confidence.

With expertise in working with zoning regulations, state statutes, processes & procedures, permitting software, work with developers and stakeholders, and wetlands review, I bring both technical knowledge and practical experience to every project. My approach is grounded in transparency, professionalism, and integrity.

Core Values at Land Use Logistics

• Clarity
  I believe land use decisions shouldn’t be confusing. I break down complex zoning and permitting rules into clear, actionable steps.

• Integrity
  I maintain the highest ethical standards, ensuring my guidance is objective, professional, and rooted in honesty.

• Opportunity
  Every property has potential. I help realtors, developers, and communities unlock opportunities while balancing growth, environment, and community needs.

• Collaboration
  Planning is never one-sided. I work with realtors, developers/ development teams, engineers, surveyors, business owners, municipalities, and property owners to find solutions that serve multiple interests.

• Sustainability
  Good planning means thinking long-term. I emphasize solutions that respect natural resources while supporting responsible development.

Land is opportunity. I help you understand it, so you can unlock it.
