Downtown Plan and Implementation Strategies

Project Summary

The City of Hagerstown (City) is soliciting proposals from highly qualified planning and economic analysis firms (Consultants) to assist with the creation of a 10-year Downtown Plan and Implementation Strategies.

This community engagement and planning project is intended to provide the data and community support for realistic and achievable tactics in order to continue to generate momentum and help the City and investors make decisions that create value, manage risk, and improve our prospects for success. As a result, we anticipate this project to include extensive community engagement, market analysis, and recommendations for catalyst projects that will guide downtown redevelopment and growth for the next 10 years.

The selected firm must have a deep portfolio in market analyses of downtown economies and cost benefit analyses of revitalization strategies and catalyst projects proposed to improve the economic vitality of struggling and emerging downtown environments in small cities.
