Your research, your analysis, and your detailed mapping of occupations, training programs, and skill gaps in the clean transportation sector is not just commendable, it’s essential. This is exactly the kind of actionable, strategic work we need as we accelerate toward a green economy.

NYC Speaks has been an impressive and influential public engagement initiative that realized its goal of co-designing a powerful action plan, responsive to community priorities, with a diverse coalition of community leaders and policymakers within City government. The way HR&A managed the initiative helped to set the tone for how public agencies can excel at community engagement and translating community voice into ambitious policy goals.

Perhaps the strongest community benefits package for a project of its kind anywhere in the country.

Sara Innamorato
Allegheny County Executive

Partnering with the HR&A team set up my administration up for success from the get-go. Together, we achieved something that has never been done before in Allegheny’s history; we launched the largest, most diverse, and most inclusive community engagement process this county has ever seen. We turned that feedback into an action plan with more than 90 initiatives across nine key focus areas. HR&A also helped us recruit and hire passionate and talented staff to deliver those promises we made to the community. I’m proud of the partnership that has helped us model what co-governance looks like in action.

Valeria Mendoza
Communications Manager at Con Edison

HR&A has been our trusted partners through and through. We are grateful for your unmatched professionalism and diligence in helping us bring the reports together. Additionally, you’ve helped us bring the reports to life by synthesizing the information into comprehensive storylines and quotable points. With each new iteration of the annual economic impact report, we’ve learned something new about the business and its impact on the region.”
