The government authority in New York is seeking a vendor to provide services for the development and implementation of transformational regional initiatives. This includes creating an actionable implementation plan for a major initiative, which may originate from the region's strategic plan or focus on a specific redevelopment area. The selected consultant will support the region in assembling its annual report and collaborate with the Regional Economic Development Council (REDC), Empire State Development (ESD), and various stakeholders to identify and leverage partnerships crucial to the initiative's success.

The consultant will also play a central role in identifying anchor projects, detailing potential funding sources and amounts, and illustrating why these projects represent transformational opportunities for the area. Coordination with existing or planned regional assets will be required to maximize project impacts, particularly if the region secures funding. The process will emphasize partnership development, stakeholder collaboration, and strategic resource alignment.
