Instant Input is backed by decades of public engagement and city planning experience. Located in Rochester, New York, the women-owned city planning consultancy Highland Planning specializes in public outreach, economic and market analysis, commercial district revitalization, research and program management, and communications. We believe that better dialogue creates better decisions. Our team designs, plans, implements, and summarizes successful public engagement strategies that reduce risk and create positive outcomes for our clients.
With two decades of public engagement experience and a pandemic, our team recognized the need for a new, simple solution to build relationships and get quick feedback on projects by meeting people where they are. Public engagement should be accessible and transparent, so we created Instant Input.
Instant Input allows local decision-makers and project owners to share projects with the communities they serve. Our software bridges the gap between project owners and stakeholders, allowing citizens to stay informed and offer feedback to help move each project forward.
