About Desire Line LLC

Desire Line is a well-rounded and action-oriented planning company primarily performing work in the Gulf South. They provide comprehensive planning, grants, emergency, watershed, environmental, and floodplain management services, including strategic innovation, balance and adaption within the built and natural environment; and reducing exposure to hazards to enable a high quality of life for generations to come.

The Company offers a one-of-a-kind, thoughtful, strategic approach that balances technical analysis, best practices, first-hand experience, and institutional knowledge with effective community engagement and co-developed, creative solutions. Work products result in increased government efficiency and issue-oriented actions that adapt and respond to current and future community needs.

The Desire Line Team has more than 70 years of collective professional experience and includes award-winning certified urban planners, grant managers, community engagement specialists, and floodplain managers who consistently deliver high quality planning products and provide expert advice with a seasoned and tempered understanding. The team is talented, trustworthy, responsive, and deliberate in its decision-making, while also being socially aware, adept, and non-intrusive. Their history of work and long-lasting relationships with communities and partners demonstrates a unique, collaborative, and specialized skillset urgently needed to advance goals and resolve long-standing challenges.

Over the last 15 years, Founder and CEO, Alex Carter, has demonstrated her capability to not only perform in the private and public sectors, but — more importantly — to translate the Team's decades of public service experience into much-needed and immediately impactful support for communities.
