Community Engagement

Outreach and Communications Plan

Partnership and consultation with local stakeholders, organizations, and the public are critical components of the LRP development process. The County has launched communications and outreach efforts to engage stakeholders and gather input that will inform housing, infrastructure, and economic revitalization programs and projects in the areas most impacted by the 2020 hurricanes.

Baldwin County will work to keep the media, community groups, local leaders, and key stakeholders informed with timely and accessible updates about local recovery planning and implementation.
