A city in Texas is seeking consulting services to support its economic growth through a comprehensive study focused on strategic positioning, land use alignment, and target industry development. The selected consultant will develop targeted strategies to establish the city as a premier destination for investment and business growth, with a particular emphasis on council-identified target industries.

Responsibilities include providing strategic recommendations, policy alignment guidance, and economic modeling to advance the city’s long-term objectives, especially along designated corridors. The scope encompasses conducting thorough reviews of current zoning, land use, and development policies, as well as identifying and mapping key sites that are suitable for immediate and future development, prioritizing those with existing infrastructure and market readiness.

The consultant will also be tasked with creating economic models to quantify impacts such as job creation and tax revenue, and will prepare visualizations, maps, and data resources to facilitate communication and decision-making among city staff, City Council, and stakeholders. Proposals should detail the consultant’s approach to engaging with site selectors, corporate leaders, and developers to attract and retain target industries.
