"I must take a moment to complement NCI on the completeness and clarity of the NCI Charrette System DVD. The spirit of what is possible for Dennis Port is very clearly captured by the detail of dereliction faced in Florida and the spirit and tone you set. I am very proud to be able to provide my community with such a well thought out pre-charrette “warm –up” tool."

“The NCI Charrette Forms Kit was essential for our Charrette. It completed the total resource that is the National Charrette Institute... We were much more efficient having the kit; all we had to do was simply add our information and share the forms with our team."

Alex Graziani
Executive Director of the Smart Growth Partnership of Westmoreland County
