Urban Decision Group (UDG) has expanded its operations and is now providing consulting services in the western United States.  It’s newest office is based in Seattle, Washington, and its location will allow UDG to provide on-site and virtual services to the planning and development community in the western portion of the U.S.  UDG’s Principal and Owner, Rick Stein recently announced, “We’ve had some staff in Seattle for several months and we felt the time was right to market ourselves more aggressively in the northwest.  We already had a strong client base in this market.  Now we can provide timelier service delivery and on-site consulting to our existing and future clients.  There are a lot of planning & development shops in the western U.S. that don’t have the resources to staff a full-time department to do what we do.  We’re excited about the opportunities.”

Urban Decision Group is a location information technology firm that specializes in providing Geospatial Information Systems (GIS)-centric technology and analysis to those in the private and public sectors of the planning and development community.  Urban Decision Group was founded in 2010 by software developer/urban planner Rick Stein when he realized there were large information gaps between urban planners and developers, and the decision makers responsible for making projects happen.  Urban Decision Group’s world headquarters are located in beautiful Columbus, Ohio.
