Integrated Comprehensive and Downtown Master Plan

The Village of Elm Grove is seeking proposals from qualified professional planning consultants to assist in the completion of an update to the Village's Comprehensive Plan, which includes an integrated Downtown Master Plan component. The plan should build upon the foundation of the 2007 Comprehensive Plan, introduce new goals and policies, and deliver focused, value-added strategies for the downtown area. The project includes three phases: public engagement, plan development, and plan finalization. The consultant will be responsible for developing a public participation plan, updating the comprehensive plan, and creating a downtown master plan. The project should be completed within a 12-month timeframe, and the Village prefers to initiate the project in April 2026. Key aspects of the project include: • Public engagement and participation • Update of the comprehensive plan to include a downtown master plan component • Development of a public participation plan • Creation of a downtown master plan that addresses building scale, massing, and setbacks • Strategies for business retention and redevelopment • Recommendations for improved pedestrian, bicycle, vehicular, and parking access • Opportunities for placemaking, streetscape, and façade enhancements • Zoning and regulatory considerations to support desired reinvestment
