Our Story
Cumberland Permit Strategy Group was founded to make the permitting process easier, clearer, and more predictable for clients who don’t have time for guesswork. After nearly a decade working within municipal development departments and managing permitting operations for national commercial projects, I saw how often delays came from unclear requirements or inconsistent communication. CPSG was created to close that gap.
With experience spanning zoning research, plan‑review coordination, and multi‑agency workflow management, I’ve supported hundreds of projects across the country—from tenant improvements to complex, multi‑state programs. This background gives me a complete understanding of how jurisdictions operate and what clients need to keep projects moving smoothly.
At CPSG, every project receives detailed research, organized documentation, and proactive communication designed to eliminate surprises. Our mission is simple: provide clarity, remove obstacles, and help clients build with confidence.

Project Guidance
We guide you through the full entitlement and pre-submittal process by mapping every discretionary approval—rezonings, variances, plats—into a clear, owner-assigned roadmap with deadlines and success metrics so you can accurately budget both time and political capital before the first hearing. We handle community and stakeholder navigation by scripting talking points, preparing exhibits, and facilitating neighborhood and council-level conversations so public feedback turns into alignment rather than delay. And to keep the entire pre-submittal workflow moving, we vet and coordinate key vendors—sign fabricators, civil engineers, traffic consultants, and others—ensuring scopes are defined, turn-times are quoted, and everyone hits the same timeline with one accountable lead: you.
AI Pre-Check Review
Our AI-assisted Compliance Review Engine scans your building, signage, or solar plan set against all applicable local checklists before submittal, catching missing sheets, incorrect file naming, outdated code references, and common conflict points that trigger correction cycles. It functions like a pre-flight inspection: fixing what will cause turbulence later so your first review lands clean.
Submittal Support
For building, signage, and solar permits alike, we manage the full navigation process—application prep, portal uploads, fee payments, and ongoing status checks—through a single point of contact and a single streamlined invoice. When redlines emerge, we translate reviewer comments into precise fixes, coordinate directly with your design team, and turn around resubmittals within days. The result is fewer correction cycles, faster approvals, and reviewers who feel your project is aligned, responsive, and easy to approve.
