Community engagement solutions for the data-center industry.
Traditional community engagement methods only reach the people who show up.
Today, engagement takes place through public hearings, mailed notices, consultants, project websites, local news and social media. These channels serve a purpose – but they rarely create an ongoing connection with a broad, verified cross-section of the community.
Public meetings reach the people who attend.
Social media amplifies the most active voices without confirming who actually lives nearby.
Project websites distribute information but do not create a persistent local network.
Companies may spend considerable time and money on engagement while reaching only a small, self-selected portion of the surrounding population.
Architect Digital gives community stakeholders a reason to join – before they are asked to take a position.
This creates a project-specific ecosystem in which verified residents and verified industry participants can participate under separate, published rules.
- 1
A verified data-center project is listed on the site.
Any proposed project with confirmed details gets a profile, a map and a community.
- 2
Local community members are invited to join for free.
Households, businesses and community organizations near the project verify their identity and address and join its community. Personal identifying information is never published or shared.
- 3
The community reaches critical mass.
As participation grows, the community’s verified positions, questions and concerns become a public record for the project.
- 4
Verified industry participants may join the ecosystem.
Companies with a role in a project are verified and listed with that role, and may reach the community through the platform.
- 5
The platform becomes an ongoing engagement channel.
Participating companies may share information and communicate with community members as a group (and always with identities protected) as the project progresses.
