Description
The City of Wilmington is seeking qualified firms to provide market‑feasibility analysis, economic‑impact modeling, and a parking study to support its Downtown Master Plan. The work is divided into three phases: baseline assessment and strategic direction, development of a detailed roadmap (including incentive toolkits and ROI analysis), and preparation of adoption‑ready documents for City Council. The consultant will coordinate closely with parallel Urban Design and Placemaking teams, using existing city data and conducting stakeholder engagement to shape recommendations for two key study areas (Northern Riverfront District and the Chestnut Street site).
• Conduct market‑feasibility and economic‑incentive analyses for two downtown parcels.
• Lead a comprehensive parking inventory, utilization modeling, and scenario‑based recommendations.
• Deliver a multi‑phase roadmap including financial models, implementation action plans, and adoption‑ready regulatory documents.
• Collaborate with Urban Design and Placemaking consultants and provide data integration from existing city studies.
• Produce deliverables such as data books, feasibility fact sheets, ROI tables, and a Council briefing deck.
