Over time, Brian Mooney began dedicating more of his work to pro-bono planning assistance work, using his experience to help communities navigate planning challenges and think through their long-term priorities.

Through community meetings, the project focused on priorities ranging from sidewalks and street lighting to longer-term community improvements like community spaces.
