A robust public engagement effort is critical to identifying a community’s key challenges and creating a locally appropriate plan to achieve the community’s vision.  With each project we offer multiple pathways to engage different segments of the public.  We interview key stakeholders, facilitate focus groups, compile surveys, reach out through social media platforms, as well as using traditional media and public meetings. The bottom line is a plan only works if community members buy into it.  It is our goal to ensure every plan reflects community priorities and aspirations.
