Project: Public Scoping

Client: U.S. Customs and Border Protection/U.S. Department of Homeland Security

Period of performance: 2010

With only three weeks to pull off public scoping and meetings for new facilities in Bellingham and Port Angeles, Washington, we rallied the staff—identifying interested parties, gathering address, arranging meeting facilities, publishing newspaper announcements, arranging for sign language/Spanish translator, mailing announcements, creating presentation materials, and briefing facilitator.  The community turned out for the Open Houses and had the opportunity to comment on the proposed facilities.
