In Office: Issue No. 13
In Sync
At a project kick-off, the first goal our clients share is often simple: make it a success. But is success enough? What if your project could be truly transformative for your community?
In this issue, we discuss how aligning projects, needs, and funding is critical to producing impressive, impactful projects that create long-term community enthusiasm.
If you’re selling excess property, make sure the proposed use reflects community intentions. If you’re part of a Metropolitan Planning Organization, partner up early; they can help line up funding for transportation improvements. If your public engagement strategy needs refreshing, meet your community where they are and unify their interests. When planning a major project like a stadium, integrate long-term community benefits rather than just creating a single-use facility. And if you have local industrial sites, match your wastewater pretreatment needs with today’s regulations to protect your community’s water.
When a project is in sync with funding and community needs, the results go beyond success. They leave a positive, lasting impact that is embraced by the community.
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 [email protected].
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.
