In Office: Issue No. 14
Environmental Economics
Environmental decisions don’t just shape landscapes. They shape local economies. Whether through resource reuse, capital planning, or proactive regulatory compliance, today’s environmental decisions influence tomorrow’s investments.
In this issue, we explore how environmental planning informs sound economic decision-making. Discover how urban soil banking transforms excavated soil into a valuable resource, learn how early capital planning can help communities prepare for the financial impacts of emerging PFAS regulations, and understand how evolving wetlands regulations may impact future development.
Environmental stewardship and economic priorities are often viewed as competing interests. In practice, thoughtful environmental decisions enable communities to prioritize investments, manage public resources, and plan confidently for the future.
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.
