Connect with Key Stakeholders
What are key stakeholders?
Key stakeholders include city officials, community organizations, residents, and other developers who influence the development process. Building relationships with these groups can facilitate smoother project execution.
Why is this important?
Engaging with stakeholders fosters collaboration, reduces opposition, and enhances project support. Community buy-in can be critical for the success of any development.
How do I meet these people?
Attend city council meetings (schedule available here), join local chambers of commerce, and participate in community forums to meet stakeholders. Networking events hosted by local organizations can also be valuable for building connections.
