Description
The Town of Greensboro is seeking a professional planning firm to facilitate a housing charette for Greensboro Villages. The charette will focus on at least three properties and use typologies identified in the Homes for All Toolkit. The selected consultant will be responsible for information gathering, reviewing proposed case study sites, guiding community engagement, designing and facilitating the charette, and delivering a written summary and recommendations. The project aims to establish a clear direction on land use plans and regulations, particularly as they pertain to Act 181, and to identify areas for higher density housing, suggested housing typologies, and potential Zoning Bylaw changes.
• The project has a budget of $26,850 for consultant services and $1,550 for direct expenses and outreach.
• The consultant will be expected to adhere to standard state pass-through provisions for contracts and grants.
• The project will include a community-wide survey and two community conversations to gather input on housing needs and preferences.
• The final written report must provide sufficient detail to inform a meaningful update to the Town's land use and housing elements.
