    Land Use & Zoning

    Our forward-thinking approach, coupled with our experience navigating local government processes, enables us to identify the permits and approvals you need while anticipating and addressing any potential issues that may arise.

    Overview

    We regularly advise and assist clients in zoning, land use, permitting, and government-relations matters involving major development projects. We help with the pre-application process and preliminary design to minimize potential concerns and provide solutions to keep our clients’ developments on track.

    Whether you are constructing a new development, undergoing a redevelopment project, or seeking approvals for a specialized asset, such as a wireless telecommunications tower or other utility projects, we can turn your development challenges into success.

    Recognition

    • Nixon Peabody has been named a Tier 1 firm in Rhode Island for Land Use & Zoning Law by U.S. News – Best Lawyers® “Best Law Firms” in 2023.

    We are seeing significant investment in wireless telecommunications infrastructure, renewable energy, and agribusiness industries across the country. It’s rewarding to work on projects that connect communities to the latest technology.
