Our <br />emphasis Is on land -use characteristics, public <br />perception of project scope, and visual <br />impactlassessment. We can bring an objective <br />and fresh viewpoint to the manner in which <br />engineers and more technical disciplines <br />visualize impacts upon a community. <br />*An emphasis is placed on document format such <br />that graphics can be prepared and used in a <br />manner that allows for Inclusion In any final <br />document and for public consumpflwVeducation <br />in the form of printed matter (h .;;k and white <br />and color), slides, handouts, and presentation <br />boards. <br />• Our record as participants in public involvement <br />programs indicates that we are perceived as <br />honest, objective, knowledgeable, and concerned <br />with both immediate and long-term projects. <br />• We are versed In the role of coordination among <br />Federal, State, and Local agencies and citizens <br />groups with one another and with the consultant. <br />
