SCOPE OF SERVICES TASK B: STAKEHOLDER ENGAGEMENT Our team will engage the public and other interested parties in a proactive and innovative participation effort by addressing regional and local issues, creating an appropriate project identity, and by applying new methodologies to reach a wider audience and to increase participation rates. Goal will be to gather new and exciting ideas, to vet and advance promising ideas and concepts, and to build a project support network that advances consensus, moving the project forward toward development. We will recommend outreach methodologies and tactics that will: • Develop a methodology that will reach a wide range of stakeholders; • Provide timely opportunities for stakeholder engagement at multiple touch points throughout the process; • Generate meaningful input for consideration in the development process; and • Create a process that keeps stakeholders engaged and informed throughout the process. 1. STRATEGIC OPPORTUNITIES We believe that successful community outreach has to be credible and trustworthy, emphasizes transparency, and leverages multiple communication channels. This approach resonates with stakeholders, encourages participation, and advances project goals. Our public outreach process will engage stakeholders directly involved in the development effort, including state, county, and municipal leaders, as well as diverse members of the public, the arts community, business owners, the technical community, and environmental advocates. Strong consensus building among the individuals and organizations can spark opportunities for additional collaborations. 2. RESEARCH KICKS OFF THE ENGAGEMENT EFFORT Market research as described in Task A, above, provides a solid foundation for to identifying and targeting key stakeholders and participants in the outreach and engagement effort. We will approach this task in various ways, including a combination of group and one-on-one interviews, the development of Advisory Working Groups, focus groups, and online surveys and other crowd-sourcing techniques. Developing a strong base of support for the project requires that the team be mindful of and responsive to a host of issues, including some that may not be directly related, at least on the surface, to the project specifically. Awareness of the issues surrounding other local concerns will play a directly relevant role during project development. Key messages presented to the public should focus on project benefits, including economic, environmental, and quality-oflife benefits that are delivered consistently, through multiple communication channels and frequently. 3. ELEMENTS OF THE PUBLIC INVOLVEMENT PLAN The Public Involvement Plan (PIP) will specify strategies and methods for informing agencies, key stakeholders and the public regularly and at key milestones to involve and engage participants throughout the process and to building awareness and understanding of the purpose, need, and benefits of the Downtown Albany and Corning Preserve development project.

SCOPE OF SERVICES After thoughtful and deliberate discussions with Corporation members and partners, the goals of the Public Involvement Plan for the Tactical Revitalization Plan are anticipated to be as follows: • Create a positive, popular identity for the project, such as a tagline or overarching message; • Understand stakeholder and community issues, values and concerns related to the development of the study area; • Use creative, proactive, and innovative techniques to bring the project and its solutions to the community; • Build a network of partners to help define and promote the project; • Foster dialogue among the project team, stakeholders, and the general public; • Inform citizens early and continuously throughout the study process. We will develop an initial framework for stakeholder engagement activities to be undertaken during the project. The format, timing, locations and logistics of each activity will be determined as the project evolves and will be coordinated between the Corporation and the AKRF Team. 4. STAKEHOLDER MEETINGS The AKRF team will work with the Corporation to develop optimal projectdriven meeting schedules, with meetings facilitated by the consultant team. Stakeholder meetings will be held to solicit the broadest possible array of ideas and opinions and to engage the public in ongoing conversations around the development effort. • Downtown Albany Business Improvement District and other project partners; • Business and property owners in Downtown Albany; • Business leaders; • The Center for Economic Growth and other non-profits; • Parks & Trails New York and other environmental advocacies; • Albany County Conventions and Visitors Bureau; • The New York State Museum, Albany Center Galleries, and other art galleries and centers for culture; • Times Union Center, Palace Theater, and other centers for entertainment and performing arts; • Social service providers; • Low-income and non-English speaking communities; • Religious organizations and downtown church groups, such as First Church in Albany, Historic St. Mary’s Church, and Waldorf Residence; • Albany County Historical Association; • Downtown (City) departments, including Police, Health and Recreation. 4.a Crowdsourcing We further propose to use a crowdsourcing methodology to reach a broader set of constituencies that are traditionally did not readily participate in the process. In particular, younger people, who are familiar with technology, are expected to take advantage of this approach. We would either use the website or one of the suitable platforms, such as Ideo, to develop 16 Proposal For Capitalize Albany Corporation RFP for Building a Tactical Revitalization Plan for Downtown Albany, NY
