Federal Policy Advocacy, Strategy, and Funding Services
What ENS does for public agencies, municipalities, and regional coalitions: federal advocacy, strategic planning, project financing, coalition building, and regulatory analysis, all focused on the public and private sectors.
01 / Federal Advocacy
Federal Policy Advocacy
ENS represents clients before Congress, federal agencies, and regulatory bodies on policy legislation and rulemaking. We cover the issues that shape and influence client business decisions and programs.
Our role is to make sure your priorities are heard and understood where federal policy is decided, and to give you clear, timely counsel on how to respond to maximize sound federal policy and budget decisions in support of our clients' needs.
02 / Strategic Planning
Strategic Planning for the Federal Policy and Programmatic Development Process
Beyond advocacy, ENS serves as a strategic advisor to public and private sector clients navigating the federal policy environment. That includes strategic planning, federal positioning, coalition building, and stakeholder engagement.
It is also where we counsel clients on emerging areas such as the water-energy nexus and disaster mitigation, where federal policy is evolving rapidly.
03 / Project Financing
Infrastructure Funding and Federal Financing
ENS helps public Special Districts, regional authorities, and municipalities actively navigate the federal funding landscape, including core water, wastewater, flood protection, surface transportation, habitat restoration and clean energy programs that provide federal assistance to projects to realize the deployment of modern infrastructure.
We help you understand which programs apply to your projects, how to position them, and how to move through the federal process. This is policy and funding navigation, not engineering or construction.
04 / Coalitions
Coalition Building and Federal Program Support
ENS provides hands-on support designing and managing coalitions to address critical needs impacting multiple stakeholders with shared interests to maximize policy advocacy. We help clients with shared interests keep complex federal engagements organized, on schedule, and aligned with their broader policy goals.
This is the practical, day-to-day work that turns a dynamic policymaking process into advantages that translate into positive outcomes for stakeholders.
05 / Regulatory Analysis
Federal Regulatory Analysis and Evaluation
ENS helps clients understand and respond to the federal regulatory developments that affect operations, infrastructure projects, and compliance. We track rulemakings and guidance such as PFAS standards, WOTUS, the Clean Water Act, and NEPA permitting.
We demystify the regulatory process to clarify the policy development process and allow for informed decisions as change occurs and permits timely and accurate responses in support of our clients’ priorities and desired outcomes. The goal is to help you anticipate change and respond from a position of preparation.
