Grassroots

Community Outreach

Many projects require support from neighbors and local stakeholders near a proposed site. CopeLand Companies partners with Mary Claire Lanser of Lanser Public Affairs to provide organized, respectful grassroots outreach that builds understanding and support for client projects.

Team Meeting

Our Approach Includes:

  • Designing materials to clearly illustrate the client’s proposal​

  • Meeting face-to-face with neighbors and stakeholders​

  • Carefully documenting feedback and following up on questions or concerns​

  • Serving as a liaison between the client and the public​

  • Hosting “open house style” public information meetings

Why It Matters:

  • In today’s environment, development and community are often struggling to see eye to eye. Communication and education are more important than ever—for both residents and the broader community.​

  • We strive to ensure that as communities evolve, it can be done in a smart, thoughtful way that creates lasting, beautiful communities.​

  • By staying on the forefront of discussions, we help clients anticipate concerns, engage residents, and maintain positive community relationships.

Crowd Applauding

Why It Works:

  • Relationships built early with neighbors are evident at public hearings, showing officials how thoughtfully we communicate.​

  • Summarized feedback provides a compelling informal poll of neighborhood support.​

  • Supporters are guided in expressing their support through letters and public comments.​

  • Understanding and acknowledging opponents’ concerns allows us to respond proactively, often mitigating objections.​

Volunteers on Construction Site

Outcome:

Respectful grassroots community outreach has repeatedly proven to be a critical factor in achieving successful project approvals, improving community trust, and facilitating smoother development processes.​
