Strategic support that benefits watersheds, the environment, and communities
Every client presents an opportunity to leave the world a better place. That’s why our Environmental Planning & Permitting experts partner with our clients early on to understand goals and key milestones, and then leverage innovation and regulatory know-how to help reduce project development costs, mitigate adverse impacts, and drive greater business outcomes and community benefits. Our approach emphasizes a multidisciplinary environmental, engineering, and community development team that works side by side with clients throughout a project’s lifecycle.
Our clients trust us to bring the right tools and technologies to address their unique set of challenges. That includes measures like developing custom geospatial modeling tools designed to rapidly assess large sites and infrastructure corridors for critical environmental resources, constraints, and other due diligence concerns; fully digitizing our field data collection process for preconstruction environmental studies and ecological assessments; and automating environmental inspections and reporting during construction and remediation activities. Our team is always looking for ways to improve quality, increase efficiency, and support client responsiveness.
Our approach to leading multi-benefit projects involves continuously developing solutions to streamline local, state, and federal environmental permitting while incorporating the interests of community stakeholders. A key component of many of our projects is coordinating and leading regulatory agency pre-application meetings to ensure alignment between the project stakeholders. These efforts often identify project fatal flaws and identify opportunities for schedule acceleration and environmental enhancement. Woodard & Curran has a proven track record of community engagement support, achieving outcomes that satisfy the needs of our clients and those of their neighbors.
