Public Involvement
Our strength lies in public involvement planning that brings
parties together and promotes citizen engagement and informed
decision-making. We bring to the table years of
experience designing, planning and implementing successful
initiatives and programs. We have extensive experience
working with a diverse group of community stakeholders, including
developers, architects, engineers, property owners, neighborhood
groups, government agencies, community organizations and local
businesses.

public involvement expertise to many major development, public
infrastructure and transportation projects including:
- MoDOT's kcICON Project to build the new
Christopher S. Bond Bridge

Springs Parkway Realignment Study and the Truman Sports Complex

We offer innovative out-of-the-box thinking, not cookie-cutter
solutions. There are any number of strategies that can
be selected to best serve the needs of our client and the particular
project. We utilize a variety of citizen participation
tools such as public meetings, public workshops, charettes, brainstorming
and visioning sessions, open houses, public comment, focus groups,
key stakeholder interviews and citizen advisory committees. In
addition, we develop a unique set of communication tools such
as fact sheets, newsletters, flyers, feedback forms, websites,
surveys, polling, interactive video, construction alerts and
hotlines.

Carlos exceeded our expectations with regard to how quickly
she could get legislative approvals to keep our utility
relocations in downtown KC moving. We had to relocate utilities
from the Court of Appeals building and any decisions had
to be made in Jefferson City. We expected two months and
it took two weeks! She has a real 'can do' attitude
