In Office: Issue No. 10
Driving Development Forward
In its simplest definition, development is the process by which something grows or changes and becomes more advanced. As professional consultants, growth and change are part of our core values. Whether we’re expanding a practice area or deepening our expertise, we’re continuously evolving.
In this issue, we examine funding options to help your municipality develop underutilized brownfield sites to advance revitalization in your community. These sites, along with closed and capped landfills, may also be candidates for solar energy arrays. Energy transition and electrification present opportunities for municipalities, and our team can help assess the grid infrastructure that will be required of municipal utilities.
Across all communities, strategic development opportunities must be discovered and funded. GIS technology can take your project from concept to development by using data-driven decision-making.
We always share a little bit about LaBella’s own evolution, and in this issue we’re excited to introduce our Multi-Modal Planning and Design Group led by Douglas Teator, PE. With this group’s expertise and added service offerings, your community’s development can set new standards for accessibility and connectivity.
With each issue of In Office we present our experience, our expertise, and our forecasting on the topics and trends that affect municipal projects. Let us know if there’s a topic we can explore for you by contacting us at inoffice@labellapc.com.
Meeting Minutes
At LaBella, one of our four core values focuses on the stewardship of resources. It’s a philosophy of our firm, and we know it’s shared by the many public officials who trust us with their community’s assets.
The responsibilities of the office you hold require stewardship of the public’s finances, safety, education, and infrastructure. The office requires difficult decisions, public scrutiny, and unimaginable foresight. Whether elected or appointed, public officials are the trustees of our communities.
Nonetheless, the office you hold is only daunting if you’re in it alone. In Office is our commitment to be your partner in stewardship. Bringing LaBella’s team of experts into your office, this semi-annual publication will present our experience, our expertise, and our forecasting on the topics and trends that affect municipal projects.
LaBella’s stewards come in many forms: planners, environmental scientists, civil engineers, architects, interior designers, and many other professionals that treat your resources as our own.
