Land Use, Environmental & ESG

Whether it’s a developer’s proposal or a utility’s plan to support it, the emergence of sophisticated organized opposition to new land use development increasingly calls for public relations and grassroots mobilization support to achieve project success. McGuireWoods Consulting has assembled a cross-disciplinary team to assist clients with all aspects of real estate development and environmental projects.
