A key component of Public Participation is the identification and engagement of stakeholders. Stakeholders are individuals and/or groups who have a direct interest, involvement, or are generally affected by projects, programs, or plans. Identifying “interested parties” outside of the formal organizational structure of Belomar is necessary to obtain adequate public input. Stakeholders commonly include but are not limited to:
- Elected & Appointed Officials
- People that live or work in the project area
- Businesses in the project area
- Civic and community associations
- Environmental or other special interest groups
- Federal, state, and local agencies responsible for land use management, natural resources, conservation, economic development, community planning, and historic preservation, as appropriate.
Belomar is committed to developing a proactive public involvement process which provides complete information, timely public notice, full public access to key decisions, and supports early and continuing involvement of the public in developing of planning documents and grant applications. Comments on ongoing planning activities can always be made here: PUBLIC COMMENT FORM
