H2M’s Community Support Article Published in Firehouse Magazine
H2M Public Safety Market Practice Leader Dennis Ross, AIA recently wrote an article titled “Developing and Building Community Support for New Fire Stations” that was published in Firehouse.
The article outlines essential strategies to secure funding for public safety projects, including navigating bond financing, gaining public approval, strategically timing voting dates, maximizing the impact of public meetings, and effectively communicating critical needs.
As Dennis notes: “When a public safety agency needs to purchase new property, relocate, expand, renovate, or construct a new station, where does the funding come from? Some districts or municipalities may use bonds, capital improvement budgets, or commercial borrowing as funding avenues.”
