What happens when public opposition to a development project begins before the facts are even presented? Could concerns over how a project looks derail its approval before construction begins? On Episode 80 of Environmental Echo, host Paul K. Boyce, PE, PG, President and CEO of PWGC, welcomes Matthew Allen, RLA, Principal at Saratoga Associates, to explore why visual impacts can become one of the biggest obstacles in the regulatory approval process.

From renewable energy developments and telecommunications towers to offshore wind farms and large-scale infrastructure projects, Matt explains how early visual assessments, photo simulations and GIS-based analysis can help developers address community concerns about aesthetic resources and community character, build public trust and strengthen regulatory applications.

Discover why waiting for grassroots opposition to emerge can cost developers valuable time and money, and how a proactive approach to visual impact assessment can make the difference between a project moving forward or facing costly delays.
