We believe that the best way to prepare the open space plan is to listen. The project team conducted phone, in-person, and small group interviews with over 50 individuals between March 1 and 13, 2009. The interviews were designed to 1) assess support for the project, 2) identify issues, 3) and request information. Interviews were conducted by Dave Carlson (Clark County), Jeremy Call (EDAW), Drew Stoll (EDAW), Kimberly Karish (EDAW), and Alan O’Neill (Outside Las Vegas). Stakeholder interviews were structured with a standard agenda and consistent list of questions, while allowing for flexible dialogue as warranted based on the interests, experience, and role unique to each interviewee.
County staff and the Moapa Valley Open Space Plan Committee helped identify individuals to interview. The project team held at least one interview session for each of the following stakeholder groups.
- Recreationists and User Groups
- Conservation Groups
- Development and Business Interests
- Resource and Land Management Agencies
- County Staff
- Political Stakeholders
Over the coming days, we’ll be reporting on the common themes heard through the interviews.
