CMSC Blog - Bringing Our Main Streets to Life With Interactive 3D Design Visualization
Our latest blog from CMSC Professional Affiliate Luchs Consulting Engineers/ DeCarlo & Doll describes how their 3D visualization software helps local stakeholders and planners visualize design improvements before a shovel ever hits the ground. This technology aids the public engagement process and leads to greater collaboration and consensus among various constituencies.
Join us in wishing a Happy Birthday to CMSC Member New London Main Street, founded 22 years ago on May 6, 1998. This year NLMS is doing a Birthday Challenge fundraiser. A generous New London supporter is matching the first $1,000 in donations, plus NLMS’s current and former board members have stepped up to match an additional $500. That means the first $1,500 in contributions will have double the impact!
