Building Support for Flood Protection Projects
Public Works projects typically lack dedicated financial support and thus often compete with operating budget priorities for scarce funding.
This program will feature municipalities that have successfully made the case for funding of Flood Protection projects.
Speakers from Santa Clara California and Greenville, South Carolina, will address project initiation, development, design, public and political support and funding as they describe their successful strategies.
After viewing this program, participants will be better able to:
• Communicate the value of effective engagement of public officials and citizens
• Adapt planning and thinking in response to key stakeholder concerns
• Explore and develop partnerships with other concerned individuals and organizations
This program has been approved for .2 CEUs or 2 PDHs. The form to request these credits is available upon completion of the class evaluation. Please note there is a $5 fee per individual requesting CEUs. |
