Project Communication

Because of our local ties, we have a true understanding of the people, needs, and resources in the communities we serve. Projects of all types and sizes can benefit from a clear, organized, and meaningful approach to communication. Our project communication group will work with you to find the right communication tools for your project based on its scope, timeline, and budget.

Whether your goal is to inform or involve the public (or both), we maximize audience reach and accessibility by using a combination of in-person and digital tools. Our variety of innovative tools helps you connect with audiences in many ways – providing effective, practical solutions that save time and resources.

Want to gather input from a large area? We use INPUTiD for that! Learn more about all the ways we collected data on our Rice Street Project.
