The Adisa Team Solution
The Adisa team developed a cohesive and consistent brand for the two projects, developing websites, messaging, and a meeting strategy for public involvement meetings. During the pandemic, the team hosted the City of Austin’s first-ever virtual public involvement meetings using Zoom and Public Input in English and Spanish. Additionally, printed packets were made available at a nearby retail pharmacy. The Adisa team also placed neighborhood yard signs advertising the project and the upcoming meetings.
The Result
Following the first round of meetings, AHFC reported the highest level of participation in their experience. The Adisa team is currently planning a second round of meetings for AHFC.
