Public Involvement Expertise

De Vor specializes in helping clients clearly define goals that focus on specific issues to be addressed, the kind of input needed and identifying the public groups that should be involved throughout the critical decision-making process.

Our expertise is rooted in gathering project information and distributing it accurately and concisely to key stakeholders, the public, and all interested parties in a format understandable to anyone.

Our office in Germantown services the Milwaukee area and southeastern Wisconsin. We also have an office in Rhinelander to serve north central and the Northwoods of Wisconsin.

LISTEN

The goal of effective listening in public involvement services is to engage with the community or relevant stakeholders in a meaningful and respectful manner, ensuring that their voices are heard and their input is incorporated into decision-making processes.

DESIGN

Visual tools such as infographics, videos and interactive maps can help simplify complex information and communicate the potential impacts of policies or projects. Storytelling techniques can be employed to make content relatable and understandable, enhancing public engagement.

COLLABORATE

Creative public involvement can include hosting workshops that encourage collaborative problem-solving. These workshops can facilitate productive discussions, foster mutual understanding between stakeholders and generate innovative solutions.

The primary objective of public involvement in this important study was to provide opportunities for both outreach and feedback; and ultimately, significant interaction with stakeholders and interested parties during this environmental study. The De Vor team was responsible for dissemination of timely, accurate and understandable information to over 30,000 residents, businesses, local and elected officials, and other agencies such as Native American Tribes and Environment Justice (EJ) groups within the immediate vicinity of the corridor. Outreach includes project branding, the development of print and electronic communication materials including PowerPoint presentations, fact sheets, newsletters, web content, and interactive communications to be utilized at outreach events, posted on the project website and social media sites.
