Case Study: Idarado Mining Company achieves public land transfer approval with Sigler Communications

Idarado Mining Company transfers 5,500 acres to public ownership with Sigler Communications

The Idarado Mining Company faced significant public opposition from activists and local officials regarding its Idarado Legacy land use plan, which aimed to transfer most of its reclaimed land to public stewardship while developing a small number of home sites. Sigler Communications was engaged to manage public outreach and communications for this sensitive permitting process.

Sigler Communications assessed public opinion, managed media relations, and facilitated stakeholder engagement with government officials and non-profits like the Trust for Public Land. The firm developed presentations and orchestrated public forums to educate residents and gather feedback. As a result of this strategy, Sigler helped Idarado win necessary approvals, resulting in the successful transfer of over 5,500 acres to public ownership and the approval of the home site development plan in April 2004.
