Surviving a Moratorium: Why Communities Turn to Moratoriums and How to Turn Pause into Progress

Across the country, communities are increasingly using moratoriums as a pressure-release valve when questions and concerns heat up. Often times, it’s not solely about opposing the project outright, but because leaders feel under-informed, overwhelmed and unheard.
This session will help attendees understand why moratoriums are on the rise, highlight a real-world example in Michigan and share strategies, language, insights, and tools to lower the temperature and re-establish constructive dialogue.
The key takeaways will be how to navigate a moratorium and reframe it from a project killer to an opportunity.
