In Office: Issue No. 8
A Lesson in Adaptation
Being adaptable is in our nature. At LaBella, we’re used to adapting—to changing project schedules, weather, deadlines, you name it. Some might say we’re a bit of a chameleon. And if the COVID-19 pandemic taught us anything, it’s that humans are truly the most adaptable species on the planet.
In this issue, we explore how adaptation is crucial to a community’s survival and how making small, low-cost, high-impact adjustments to our public parks and retail operations can have a big impact. Likewise, the American Rescue Plan was established to help families and communities adapt to the changes that came with the public health crisis, and the deadline for funding applications is quickly approaching.
It’s construction season, and that means roadwork. When your community’s underground utility highways become congested, you need an expert. Consider a collaborative approach for your next infrastructure project. We recommend teaming up with your local utility provider to save on construction time and budget.
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.
