Municipal Consultants
What does it mean to be a municipal consultant at CT? Well, it means many things.
Being a consultant to our municipal clients is an exciting leadership role because, as a member of a community’s team, you help drive decisions to improve the quality of life for residents and businesses. The municipal consultant plays a high-profile role in both the communities we serve and within CT.
Our clients face challenges related to changes in population, aging infrastructure, environmental threats such as flooding, increased use of new technologies, and business growth needs. They turn to CT’s experienced professionals and multi-discipline services to solve any or all of these situations. Transportation is particularly critical, as it connects the residents within a community and that community to its neighbor. Above- and below-ground infrastructure can be decades old, and integrating new improvements with existing ones can present complex challenges. Because failing infrastructure can be costly, CT helps our clients with both long-term planning and funding.
CT’s municipal consultants might contribute to:
- Designing public works projects
- Helping attain federal, state, or local funding
- Overseeing construction and maintenance of building structures, roads, bridges, and stormwater/wastewater systems
- Evaluating the environmental impact of plans and providing recommendations
- Conducting studies of traffic patterns and utilizing technology to alleviate issues or support improvements
- Preparing or presenting plans, proposals, environmental impact statements, or property and right-of-way needs to the community affected
Being a consultant to our municipal clients means working on projects such as neighborhood improvement programs, pavement ratings, recreational projects, stormwater management, and water/wastewater improvements. . It means finding the alternatives and options that will prove vital to a project’s success. Our clients hope to enrich their residents’ lives, even in the face of challenges, and CT’s staff help them achieve this. To be a part of that is incredible!
