In January 2007, the Consensus Building Institute (CBI) lead a collaborative process to evaluate and improve the integrated functioning of the various entities that play a role in a growing Maine Town’s planning “system”. The process engaged over one hundred and fifty citizens, land owners, and professionals, and many stakeholders expressed interest in exploring additional options for educating and engaging the public in land use and other important Town governance issues.

From November 2005 to March 2006, CBI staff and dispute resolution partners in Argentina and Uruguay were retained by the International Finance Corporation (IFC) to assess stakeholder concerns and facilitate stakeholder involvement in a review of environmental and social impacts surrounding two controversial paper pulp mills – co-located 8 kilometers apart on the Rio Uruguay.
