Case Studies

Kittitas County, WA

TFG supports the County of Kittitas, Washington, in developing and managing public outreach and community engagement for a major transportation project. Since the project's inception, TFG has collaborated with the County to hold regular stakeholder meetings, gather critical community input for the project, design materials and a website to provide information to the community, and engage with congressional offices, state and federal departments, and local stakeholders to coordinate efforts. Importantly, these efforts have promoted a cross-exchange of information between the community and the County to ensure that the project is aligned with the needs and realities of the local population.

Harrisburg, PA

TFG was contracted by the City of Harrisburg to prepare its 2015-2017 Consolidated Plan, Annual Action Plans, and grant close-out reports. In addition, TFG prepared the demographic, housing, and economic assessment sections of the City’s 2015 Comprehensive Land Use Plan. In support of the City’s Department of Housing and Urban Development programming, TFG prepared the City’s FY 2016 HUD award-wining $3.714 million Lead Hazard Reduction Demonstration (LHRD) grant.

TODAY: Family Farm Alliance and Yuma County Agricultural Water Coalition to Testify on Colorado River Drought

Family Farm Alliance and Yuma County Agricultural Water Coalition Presidents to join water management leaders at U.S. House Natural Resources Committee Hearing on the Colorado River Drought.

WASHINGTON, D.C.—Today, The Family Farm Alliance (Alliance) and Yuma County Agricultural Water Coalition (YCAWC) will testify on the Colorado River drought conditions to the U.S. House Natural Resources Subcommittee on Water, Ocean and Wildlife. Alliance President, Patrick O’Toole, and YCAWC President and Alliance Advisory Committee Member, Tom Davis, will join local government water management leaders from the Western United States to discuss their work in the Colorado River Basin. Mr. Davis will also represent the Agribusiness and Water Council of Arizona (ABWC) as its President in his testimony.

“Severe drought in the Western US threatens the livelihoods of millions of people—but especially farmers,” said Mark Limbaugh, TFG President. “We’ve worked with Family Farm Alliance and Yuma Country Agricultural Water Coalition for years to find solutions at the federal level to the catastrophic environmental conditions and other threats that impact western irrigated agriculture. This hearing is an opportunity for Congress to learn from Colorado River Basin experts at the forefront of efforts to protect, rejuvenate, and replenish critically important watersheds and forests in the Basin.”

The Family Farm Alliance was established over 30 years ago and now represents western irrigated agricultural interests in seventeen states to the federal government. The Ferguson Group has worked closely with the Family Farm alliance since its inception to advocate for water infrastructure development and drought mitigation efforts at the federal level. The Yuma County Agricultural Water Coalition operates in Yuma County, Arizona and aims to improve agricultural water use, irrigation, and delivery along the Colorado River.
