The City of Greensburg is seeking the services of a qualified team of Consultants to guide a highly focused, collaborative design process for the Comprehensive Plan Update Project for the City of Greensburg.
The objective is to provide City Council, Planning Commission, City staff, City residents and the business community with a compelling vision and plan that can be used as a tool to guide decision-making and development to the year 2040.

The project area encompasses the entirety of Newport (11 square miles, 7 land, 4 water) population ~25,000) as well as critical transportation nodes approaching Newport (e.g. West and East Main Roads, TF Green Airport, Wickford Junction, Kingston Station, North Kingstown, Providence Station, Route 1A Park and Ride, Tiverton Park and Ride, Rhode Island Turnpike and Bridge Authority, Kennedy Plaza, Fall River Bus Terminal, and Providence and Fall River ferry terminals).

The NRI and OSP will cover all of the approximately 31 square miles in the Town of Poughkeepsie, including portions of the Village of Wappingers Falls (located in the Town). The project will include a public outreach process.

This work will set the stage for future implementation of conservation projects by creating community consensus about conservation goals and priorities and about appropriate methods (such as regulations, incentives, and perhaps public funding) for completing such projects.
The Town has received a grant from the DEC’s Hudson River Estuary Program and executed a contract with New York State. We are now soliciting proposals/qualifications from planning consultants through a competitive process. The selected consultant will collaborate with the CAC and Town staff to develop the NRI and OSP.
