Public Involvement

Horner & Shifrin provides a multitude of public involvement services for local and state entities. The public involvement services range from holding individual stakeholder meetings to large-scale public informational meetings. With each project, Horner & Shifrin uses state-of-the-art technology to identify the existing conditions and to provide solutions to address the public’s concerns with proposed infrastructure projects.

A role also provided by the public involvement staff is to participate in the public involvement process to educate the public on the planning process and existing resources within a project study area and in turn, learn from these groups what aspects of the project study area are important to them.

Horner & Shifrin has been working with the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) for many years implementing their intense public involvement program referred to as Context Sensitive Solutions (CSS) as a way to continually engage stakeholders in a project from planning through design to construction.
