What Tyche Planning & Policy Group does

Tyche Planning & Policy Group, LLC is a Connecticut-based professional planning and policy consulting firm founded in 2021 and headquartered at 215 E Main Street, Suite #1, Vernon, CT. The firm organizes its work around four service lines: Municipal Staff and Commission Support, Regulation & Policy Development (zoning, subdivision, affordable housing plans, Plans of Conservation & Development), Comprehensive & Master Planning, and Project Planning & Permitting. Its stated focus is the triple bottom line of sustainability - equity, environmental protection, and economic growth.

The firm's go-to-market is direct, sales-led B2B consulting: it holds long-term consulting planner relationships with at least 11 named Connecticut municipalities (including Willington, East Windsor, Ashford, Tolland, Voluntown, Columbia, Essex, Andover, Hampton, and Hebron) and also serves private-sector developers on permitting and project planning. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; engagements appear to be quote-based, project-specific consulting arrangements consistent with professional services norms in the planning sector. The firm operates with a small team of approximately 7 credentialed professionals and has no disclosed external investors, parent company, or acquisition activity; ownership is founder-managed under an LLC structure.

Tyche differentiates on credentialed talent (AICP, CZEO, LEED AP certifications plus 15-20+ years of senior experience), deep Connecticut-specific regulatory expertise (8-30g affordable housing, HB 8002 land-use reform, Inland Wetlands compliance), and embedded leadership positions inside the state planning and zoning associations (CAZEO, CCAPA, CT RC&D). The firm maintains a content-marketing presence through a Resources library, conducts training workshops (notably a March 2026 HB 8002 session with law firm Halloran Sage that drew 300+ municipal attendees), and pursues organic LinkedIn visibility. No proprietary technology, AI capabilities, or mobile applications are disclosed.
