Infrastructure outreach workbook
BY SUSANNE BANKHEAD
With the $1 trillion influx of infrastructure funding heading to communities across the country, communications and community engagement professionals will soon be working collaboratively with Capital Improvement Project (CIP) teams on everything from roads, railways, ports and bridges to broadband internet installation, accessibility projects and water quality improvement programs.
Our Senior Vice President of Community Engagement Susanne Bankhead has developed a comprehensive Infrastructure Outreach Workbook to help public information officials and CIP teams think strategically about how best to engage communities in this process.
