The selected consultant will focus on forming and facilitating a long-term community advisory group, leading the first phase of a community engagement strategy, supporting relationship building with community-based organizations and impacted residents, framing a project narrative rooted in local history and co-created community vision, and collaborating with future design and technical consultant teams.
