PERMITTING/DEVELOPMENT

It's no secret that the development process can be torturous. At Solomon McCown, we recognize that a thoughtfully orchestrated and balanced mix of strategic media, government and community relations result in clear messages about our clients’ projects to potential business partners, abutters, and government officials and can achieve success for development proposals.

Decisions about development projects are not made in a vacuum, but rather, they are affected by public opinion, earned media, editorial boards, opinion leaders’ actions, grassroots constituent efforts, and political advocacy. Through thoughtful communications planning, our multi-faceted public affairs campaigns advance our clients’ proposals by reaching out to targeted media, community members, stakeholder groups, and elected officials and communicating to them through strategically-designed collateral materials that highlight the benefits of a proposed project.
