City of Cedar Hill

August 2018 –May 2019

The team developed and executed an inclusive, responsive, and significant creative engagement plan that also communicated the purpose and importance of the project. The foundation of the strategy was Pavlik’s deep understanding of local culture, an expertise that can only come from decades of working on the ground in urban areas throughout Texas.   

The engagement was strengthened by Pavlik’s focus on hyperlocal collaboration—listening to the community to identify the engagement methods that would be most successful in Cedar Hill. By prioritizing relationships and trust, the team successfully rallied local community leaders around the study and worked through their established networks to maximize community input. The plan strategically targeted and effectively engaged a diverse group of stakeholders with a variety of visions for the future of this historic area, including individuals who were either unable or unwilling to participate in previous planning efforts. 

Pavlik’s responsibilities included planning and scoping public engagement activities, leading stakeholder meetings, facilitating focus groups, conducting surveys, developing consistent and fact-based messaging, preparing presentation materials, implementing virtual engagement (social media platforms, online surveys, and web-based mapping tools), analyzing data, reporting, and fine tuning project recommendations with findings received during the planning process.
