Infrastructure

Infrastructure projects are approved long before the hearing

Neighbors should know your project before the agenda does.

What infrastructure communications is

Infrastructure communications is the work that earns a public decision: a permit, a board vote, a regulator-required workshop, or a construction start neighbors can believe in. It turns engineering and environmental records into plain language officials and neighbors can check. Most of that work happens long before the hearing date is set.

What we do

Early community outreach

Regional channels, owned media and reputation building before the first filing lands on a public agenda.

Message discipline

A short set of commitments repeated the same way on handouts, slides, employee talking points and the project site.

Environmental review support

Translation of technical records into terms anyone can verify, plus comment-period responses that do not amplify opposition.

Project websites

One public source for project data, the full EIR, mitigation measures and the meeting schedule.

Hearing materials

Printed and on-screen materials that match the website word for word when a board or commission takes a vote.

Regulatory workshops

CPUC-format agendas, scripted program flow, live production and the consolidated comment record afterward.

Construction milestones

Start-of-construction events, neighbor and reporter invitations, and milestone releases tied to grants and progress.

How an engagement works

  1. A discovery call maps the approval path, the audiences who decide, and where the project sits on that timeline.
  2. The senior team that scopes the work drafts messaging and a channel plan tied to each regulatory stage.
  3. Production covers websites, materials, workshops and owned media as the record builds.
  4. Launch support runs through hearings, votes and construction milestones, with the same facts on every surface.

Proof

I don't think we get to 5-0 without that.

Questions we get

How early should community outreach start?

Before anything is filed, when possible. The first season of work is about building a channel and a record neighbors and officials can check later.

How do you build support for a quarry or aggregate permit?

Reduce the case to a few commitments and repeat them on every surface, from handouts to the project website. Keep the technical record easy to verify.

What if local press has thinned out?

Build owned media with editorial discipline: radio, podcasts or a project site that holds the full record and meeting schedule.

How should we handle EIR comment period opposition?

Answer with precision. Respond to comments without amplifying objections in campaign channels.

Can you run a CPUC-format public workshop?

Yes. Materials, live comment management, AV and the post-event record are scoped to what the proceeding requires.

Where is MKTNG based?

Sacramento, California. Recent quarry, bioenergy and utility work spans Northern California and state-level programs.
