Permitting and Approvals

When a developer is sent back to the drawing board by a negative town meeting vote, a business’s project is counting on the successful acquisition of local approvals and permits, or a public utility needs to enlist the cooperation of several towns to conduct an upgrade, O’Neill and Associates' community relations services can help. Our community relations campaigns integrate government relations and public relations services to help clients garner support for -- or neutralize opposition to -- their projects. Call us toll-free at 1-866-989-4321 to discuss your unique community relations challenges and how we may be able to help.


Community Outreach

O’Neill and Associates’ work begins with development of messages highlighting the benefits of a proposed project in a way that resonates with each key constituency. These messages are then communicated with strategically-designed materials including fact sheets, mailings, presentations and project-specific websites.

Understanding the intricacies of working in communities with highly-involved constituents and active community groups, the core of every O’Neill and Associates community relations campaign is attention to the grassroots. By hosting town-hall style meetings to identify and address community concerns, going door-to-door to communicate with neighbors, and identifying those supporters who can influence others, O’Neill and Associates leaves no stone unturned.


Government Relations

O’Neill and Associates couples community outreach with direct advocacy with the municipal and state officials whose support our clients seek. Our relationships extend to city councilors, town managers, conservation commission members, environmental authorities, and other officials throughout the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, including Boston, Springfield, Worcester, Attleboro and Cape Cod. This direct advocacy is reinforced by the grassroots support our community relations services generate.


Permitting and Approvals

Working with our contacts at municipal redevelopment authorities, inspectional services departments, historic commissions and building and planning offices from across the region, O’Neill and Associates helps clients successfully navigate each step of the permitting process.
