PUBLIC OUTREACH, INVOLVEMENT & ENGAGEMENT

Connect, Share, and Build Relationships

MSC’S public engagement and involvement philosophy reflects a greater commitment to enhancing project outcomes for the client and the quality of life for individuals impacted by project-related decisions or resulting physical changes to their environment. Our proactive strategies and customized communication initiatives are designed to effectively engage the public at the appropriate times throughout the project process. We build consensus, foster partnerships and local ownership in project outcomes through active participation and meaningful input opportunities. MSC’s public involvement and engagement expertise ensures comprehensive, creative solutions to meet ever-increasing demands for cost-effective, innovative public participation and communications programs that work for everyone.

We work with owner’s and prime contractors as public health consultants and cultural ambassadors on corridor planning and community engagement to facilitate conversations centered on the complex issues and best installations of light rail, bus rapid transit. We engage stakeholders through face-to-face conversations at open houses and community events, media, surveys and other data collection methods. We partner with local communications, community specialists and influencers who know how communities gather, divide and get their information to advance a project initiative.

At MSC we understand the technical demands of infrastructure and development projects, as well as the need to share information with stakeholders. We tailor our clients’ public involvement programs to fit the specific needs of each project, large or small. More than just another project component, public involvement is something we regard as necessary for engaging the citizens of communities that are affected by changes in their built environment. By employing proactive strategies and the effective use of communication materials, we help our clients cultivate partnerships with regulatory agencies, businesses, community advisory councils and other stakeholders to advance each project through the development, design and construction process.
