The City of Aberdeen is seeking proposals from qualified consultants to prepare the update to the 2011 Comprehensive Plan. The purpose of a Comprehensive Plan is to give direction to both public and private decisions so that the City can realize the most beneficial arrangement of land uses, as well as the orderly and economic delivery of public services for present and future residents. It is the basis for discussion between the public and its elected representatives on the future development of their community. The Plan must be understood, accepted, and supported by the elected officials who are charged with the responsibility of decision-making. In addition, citizens who recognize the benefits of planning foresight should also strive to understand and support the Plan. To be effective, a Plan must account for the social, economic, sustainable, and environmental realities of today, while promoting the balanced services and facilities required in the future.
The Comprehensive Plan will serve as a planning document to establish guidance for development and redevelopment opportunities to serve the existing Aberdeen community and explore opportunities for growth. The Comprehensive Plan will also be used as a vision and guide for the Department of Planning and Community Development, Planning Commission, Economic Development Commission, and City Council in their decision-making processes. The selected consultant will complete the contracted scope of work within the time allocated and under the general direction of the Aberdeen Department of Planning and Community Development.
