(1) Vendor needs to provide economic development strategic planning services. The Strategic Plan is aimed to establish an economic baseline, market context, and a clear vision to revitalize development within the Corridor. The Strategic Plan should define a framework that furthers a diversity of development types, including retail and service commercial, office, multi-family residential, and compatible uses; identify opportunities for adaptive reuse of existing buildings; promote development patterns and functional urban design amenities that encourage pedestrian activity. The Consultant will work with staff, community stakeholders, businesses, Agency Council, and other applicable boards, commissions, and committees to develop a comprehensive, robust and innovative Economic Development Strategic Plan that will: evaluate the Corridor’s economic potential in light of the agencywide tax base to expand the economic opportunities of its businesses and residents; improve the economic and civic vibrancy within the Corridor; identify responses to market failure, responsibly develop common goods, and responsibly seek to encourage and incentivize the type of development that will support existing businesses, improve the Agency’s economic resiliency, and seek growth that has a holistic economic benefit; recommend goals, objectives, policies, and programs that prioritize a cohesive vision and identify commercial opportunities for under-utilized and vacant commercial properties within the Corridor that aligns with the Agency’s Economic Development element of the General Plan.
