Hiring an Economic Development Consulting Firm (RFQ 2025-209)
The cost of the consulting contract wasn't discussed at this meeting, but the city has dozens of active projects and a downtown public-private partnership with a $6 million CRA investment in a parking garage that the chosen consultant could help manage.
