Public Engagement

Hallmark works with clients to customize robust public engagement strategies to elevate ideas and solutions across diverse projects. We begin by determining the breadth of stakeholders, identifying their influence, and creating an engagement plan that matches different techniques to different audiences. The engagement experience is uniquely facilitated to generate optimum interaction that translates to maximum data extraction and productivity. 

Placemaking

Hallmark works with partners to strategically shape the physical and social character through public art and cultural engagement activities. Creative placemaking animates streetscapes and public spaces, improves public safety, and brings diverse people together to maintain a healthy, safe environment. Creative placemaking is the intersection of arts and culture with community and economic development. These elements are vital to improving urban neighborhoods’ quality of life, mobility, and socioeconomic development. 

Community Planning

Hallmark helps identify community priorities through a comprehensive planning process. This process is generally composed of vision casting sessions, data collection, and analysis of Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats (SWOT) throughout the strategic planning facilitation. This process also includes long-range planning.

Commercial Real
Estate Transactions

As a licensed commercial real estate professional, we offer comprehensive solutions customized to meet your individual needs. We are familiar with the properties, developers, and demographics of western and upstate New York, so we’ll help you locate the commercial property that meets your specifications, prepare a detailed analysis on each listing, and coordinate site visits. 

Environmental Justice

The most significant environmental harms and risks in urban communities are (1) disproportionate exposure to environmental hazards and (2) increased vulnerability to hazards.  Environmental liability and risk are disproportionately experienced by minority, low-income, tribal, or indigenous populations and communities. By implementing informed engagement strategies, Hallmark helps organizations create healthy social economic places by providing education and awareness of environmental justice disparities.
