Public buy-in can be a critical aspect of a project. Maintaining a frequent and accessible relationship with your community’s residents throughout the planning and construction phases of a project helps foster trust and an understanding of the decisions that must be made for a successful outcome. Sustaining regular communication can also minimize negative social, economic and environmental impacts to the community and environment.
Hanson’s public outreach and involvement specialists can create an engagement program to meet your project’s needs. Our public outreach and involvement services include public meetings, in-person and virtual open houses, community stakeholder groups, project websites, newsletters, project mailing lists, call-in hotlines, community presentations, radio and TV interviews, informational kiosks and groundbreaking and ribbon-cutting ceremonies.
Any major or controversial project may face opposition or pitfalls, and we offer tailored strategies to prevent conflict and gain public support. Our approach can save you time and frustration during the implementation of a large public project with the potential to cause disagreements. Before you move forward, consult with us for a plan to give your project a solid public image.
