John E. Tracey

When land development projects require the approval of land use and zoning regulators at the municipal, county, or state level, John Tracey is regularly called upon to navigate the necessary processes. His clients include developers, home-builders, retailers, corporate investors, and cellular communications companies placing new cell towers.

As both the degree of regulation and the prevailing political climate can vary widely from one jurisdiction to another, John is known for his ability to negotiate the needed approvals while remaining sensitive to the many constituencies that might weigh in on them.

In such circumstances, John draws on his strong working relationships with the government agencies involved. Having worked previously in government — representing various land use bodies and boards — he brings to the approval process a thorough understanding of both the procedures and possible pitfalls, thus enabling him to resolve issues and secure approvals in a timely and efficient manner.
