The main products of this project are a set of meetings, a set of materials, and two reports. 1. Meetings At least 5 meetings will be held across the state to roughly cover the affected communities listed above. Many of these communities are holding/have held similar meetings already, and so it is important to not duplicate past meetings. To that end, the project meetings may take place in different venues/times/formats than have occurred/are occurring. Additional smaller meetings are encouraged in proposals. Developing meeting goals, materials and doing the outreach for the meetings will require considerably more time than the meetings themselves. The RPCs are contracted separately to provide the firm/team with local knowledge and to actually procure meeting space. RPCs can provide a way to reach local officials as well via email, newsletters, etc. Contractors will be expected to engage VTDEC and TRORC in conversations that develop meeting goals and approaches, identify communities and locations, and as they develop materials for the meetings and other formats
