DESCRIPTION

The issuing organization seeks a vendor to provide a local market assessment and housing study focused on housing within the town’s corporate limits and surrounding areas. The study is intended to evaluate current housing market conditions and identify opportunities to support affordable housing, workforce housing, and strategic residential development.

The selected vendor will conduct a comprehensive housing needs assessment addressing both renter and owner demand across income levels. The scope includes evaluating existing housing supply, including its condition, affordability, and adequacy, as well as analyzing market dynamics such as sales prices, rental rates, vacancy rates, and affordability gaps.

In addition, the study will identify and map opportunity sites suitable for infill or redevelopment and recommend housing policy strategies that can support affordable and workforce housing production. The work is expected to assist the town in planning for future growth, identifying development opportunities, and supporting funding applications and economic development initiatives.

Community and stakeholder engagement is also required, including activities such as a community survey, stakeholder interviews, or focus groups. Questions related to the solicitation must be submitted no later than July 22, 2026.
