Have you ever considered how optimizing environmental reviews could pave the way for smoother project execution and sustainable development outcomes? As the momentum behind land development and public infrastructure projects intensifies, the need to streamline environmental reviews becomes increasingly pressing. Outdated systems and cumbersome procedures can cause delays and inflate investment costs.
By modernizing the technology used for review, you can easily analyze proposed project locations in relation to sensitive areas. This transformation enables data-driven decisions that can expedite review timelines while still ensuring comprehensive assessments of environmental impacts. However, the transformation is not complete without efficient communication.
Simultaneously juggling and managing communication among multiple stakeholders is challenging, but effective environmental reviews demand efficient communication. Implementing a system that organizes and tracks communication among project applicants, internal reviewers, program coordinators, and the public will help transform your environmental reviews. But where do you start?
Don’t worry! We’ve got your back with our new Environmental Review solution, which provides the capabilities that you need to modernize your workflows.
Streamline environmental reviews
Is your organization challenged with managing environmental review project applications? Continued development and a renewed focus on infrastructure improvements is driving governments to modernize and streamline environmental review workflows.
How can the Environmental Review solution help? The solution includes several pre- or partially configured apps that help facilitate environmental review applications:
A single website destination for you to solicit projects that require environmental review and share environmental review information with project applicants so you can reduce calls to the office and combat misinformation.
An app for you to manage the environmental review applications so you can process applications in a timely manner.
And finally, an app for you to screen projects for environmental impacts so you can understand whether project applications meet environmental criteria.
Increase transparency and public trust
Many communities have statutory public notice requirements that community members must be given the opportunity to express concerns or opinions about proposed projects. This process helps state and local governments build the credibility and accountability that is essential for public trust and support.
Environmental Review includes an app that helps you share proposed projects so the public and other interested parties can comment on the environmental impact of projects under consideration in the community. After a public comment is submitted, state and local governments, along with other stakeholders, can engage with and address the comment.
Effectively managing environmental reviews can be challenging, but it is also very important work. Fortunately, the Environmental Review solution is here to help you every step of the way.
