PUBLIC INVOLVEMENT
“I know no safe depository of the ultimate powers of the society but the people themselves.
And if we think them not enlightened enough to exercise their control with a wholesome discretion, the remedy is not to take it from them, but to inform their discretion.”
Thomas Jefferson - 18 September 1820

KEY CONCEPT
• A community based collaborative process is a way to reduce confrontation and improve proposed projects by involving the citizens up front in the development process. Utilizing their energy positively instead of negatively.
