Attleboro is going through an exciting time where we are launching a few planning initiatives to coincide with the Town's new 2022 Master Plan.<span> We've already released an RFP for consultant services to develop a mixed-use overlay district, and we got
two more! The Town is also issuing Requests for Proposals for a consultant to develop design guidelines for our vibrant downtown and two commercial sectors and another for a land inventory catalog for strategic planning services. More information on the RFPs
can be found here: </span></span></div>

<span style="">These are three separate projects although a consultant can submit a proposal for more than one in a single bid if capable and will result in cost savings. The downtown in North Attleboro makes for a nice stroll with neat stores and restaurants
on a mile strip in addition to a weekly farmers' market, block parties, and a coming brewery. North Attleboro also has two active commercial corridors. The ultimate goals of the design guidelines are to uplift the downtown and commercial areas aesthetically,
add strategic placemaking, and improve the pedestrian experience. A streetscape plan for the downtown is also part of the design guidelines RFP. </span></div>

<span style="">The mixed-use overlay district RFP is </span><span style="font-family: "Segoe UI", "Segoe UI Web (West European)", "Segoe UI", -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif; font-size: 14.6667px;">to promote housing
and businesses for a vibrant setting that supports each other. Also, to make mixed-use development easier to read in the bylaws and more identifiable. This mixed-use bylaw also has the potential to be involved in an exciting reimagining project with a mall.
This project can also possibly expand to further codification of the zoning bylaws. </span><span style="font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">The land inventory project is for a consultant to create an organized catalog of Town
owned land and to develop a strategic plan for its best use to facilitate economic development or for land protection.</span></div>
