Community engagement is crucial for successful public plans and projects. DLCD gathers and utilizes information from various perspectives to ensure that the project outcomes reflect the diverse needs and concerns of the state. Meaningful community engagement is essential is decision making, rather than merely fulfilling participation requirements. A well-designed community engagement program assures participants that their voices will be heard, and gives confidence to our commissioners, agency leadership and others that decisions will be fair and benefit the public.
