The agency seeks a vendor to develop an Economic Strategic Plan focused on supporting long-term economic development. The plan must identify priorities, metrics, strategies, and implementation steps, with an emphasis on creating a sustainable, diversified, and thriving economy.

Community outreach is essential, with the consultant required to prepare for and facilitate at least one public workshop to capture input on economic priorities and opportunities. The process should result in a clear vision with actionable items extending over the next ten years.

A key focus of the strategic plan will be land use, incorporating place-based strategies to enhance commercial districts, promote fiscal sustainability, retain and attract businesses, improve the public realm, and leverage both public and private investment for a resilient and vibrant local economy.
