We’ve taken the next step to create a first-time regional strategic plan for Coastal Alabama by hiring Ben Brown of PlaceMakers LLC to help us write a formal Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for a consulting firm that will actually develop the plan.
An urban planner, Brown has previous experience working with the Coastal Recovery Commission. He understands our region’s challenges, issues and opportunities and can guide our organization through the process of this long-term regional strategic plan.
We expect to release the RFQ by late February or early March and have a consulting firm in place by early summer.
