<p class="MsoNormal">Hi Joanne,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The Town of Palmer adopted a new Master Plan in August 2021. We received funding through the MVP program so I wrote the RFP to reflect the sustainability/resiliency/energy requirements as identified in the
<span style="font-size:11.5pt">Town’s MVP Community Resilience Building workshop</span>. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The final plan includes two additional chapters; one on sustainability and climate resilience and the other on public health. It has exceeded our in-house expectations and recently received the APA MA Chapter 2022 Comprehensive Planning
Award!<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The RFP is linked here <a href="https://www.dropbox.com/s/qn8x6ji02zfnaej/Town%20of%20Palmer%20RFP%20for%20Comprehensive%20Master%20Plan.pdf?dl=0">
