Step 1 - Align (Weeks 0-2)
We meet your teams, surface compliance goals, and map the coalition across economic development, DPW, and elected leaders.
Municipal path
For municipal leaders building resilient circular organics systems.
HVB frames the pilot, aligns departments, and keeps CLCPA plus food waste compliance in the work plan so every council briefing lands with data.
What you are trying to solve
- Bridge CLCPA, local budgets, and the food waste law without adding surprise work for DPW staff.
- Present a converged pilot plan that satisfies elected officials, permitting, and procurement timelines.
- Create a grant-ready ask that tells a coherent story across infrastructure, benefits, and partnerships.
