Services
GCA Strategies provides public affairs services to clients facing community or political resistance to land use proposals. In a nation where "Just Say No" has become a rallying cry for those trying to stop change, GCA shifts opinion, mobilizes action, and shapes public policy to serve clients needs across the country.
Stirring up the wrong community stakeholders for the wrong reasons can result in more problems than you started with. Based on psychosocial research, GCA's community outreach plans lay out a clear plan of action for targeted, effective outreach. Our outreach plans describe the likely causes of NIMBY opposition, identify persuasive messages and concessions, and detail the activities you need to turn pro-project attitudes into pro-project action.
With millions of dollars at stake, you don't want to guess which messages or concessions will reduce NIMBY opposition or increase public acceptance for a project. GCA Strategies takes the guesswork out of winning political and community support with state-of-the-art public opinion and market research.
Lobbying involves a lot more than simply playing golf with the mayor or taking the planning director to lunch. GCA uses sophisticated advocacy tools to help make City Hall work for real estate and business clients. You need to know what makes each politician tick if you're going to persuade that decision-maker to vote "yes."
The voting booth is often the ultimate battleground for citizens trying to stop real estate projects, which is why clients turn to GCA Strategies to manage both defensive and offensive political campaigns.
When you need voter approval for your project, GCA can help qualify your measure for the ballot, including drafting ballot text, managing initiative qualification petition drives, recruiting support coalitions, and/or lobbying for legislative placement.It is clearly a better strategy to keep a hostile measure off the ballot than to simply react to an anti-project initiative after it qualifies for an election.
