RCAP Webinar | Lessons from the Field: Land Acquisition for Small Water System Managers

You are in the planning stages of a project that requires a tract of land for water supply or wastewater facilities.  How do you approach the landowner to ask if they will come to an agreement to give, sell, or provide an easement on the property? Who should approach and make the ask?  And what about timing – when do we talk about compensation, and how can we be persistent to keep to the schedule without being pesky? An engineer and technical assistance provider will share some land negotiation experiences with past projects to explain some strategies that have worked (and some that haven’t) to provide lessons learned along the way.

Our panelist for this webinar is John Kiernan, Vermont State Lead, RCAP Solutions.
