Description
The City of Wilmington seeks a qualified consulting firm to conduct market‑feasibility and economic‑analysis services supporting its downtown master‑plan. The work is divided into three phases: baseline assessment and strategic direction, a detailed roadmap with parking studies, incentive toolkits, and economic impact modeling, and finally adoption‑ready documents for council approval. The consultant will coordinate closely with parallel urban‑design and placemaking teams, deliver data‑driven recommendations, and provide a comprehensive implementation plan.
• Conduct market feasibility, parking analysis, and fiscal impact modeling for two key downtown sites (Northern Riverfront District and 305‑319 Chestnut Street).
• Develop an economic‑incentive toolkit, ROI/pay‑back analysis, and phased implementation roadmap.
• Produce adoption‑ready deliverables (design standards, covenants, and council briefing deck) and collaborate with urban‑design and placemaking consultants.
