Redevelopment Planning for Downtown East Haddam

The Town of East Haddam, in partnership with the Redevelopment Agency, is seeking proposals from qualified consultants to develop a comprehensive community planning and urban design strategy for downtown East Haddam. The project aims to facilitate the creation of a Redevelopment Plan through extensive public engagement, exploring various development alternatives, refining the preferred options, and establishing a detailed implementation framework. The initiative is funded by a grant from the Connecticut Community Investment Account, administered by the Department of Economic and Community Development’s State Historic Preservation Office, emphasizing adherence to historic preservation standards and federal qualifications for professionals involved, including Historic Architects or Preservation Planners meeting 36 CFR Part 61 standards. The contract, titled "Redevelopment Planning for Downtown East Haddam," is open to proposals with a budget range between $50,000 and $200,000, and responses are due by April 15, 2025. The project must comply with the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties, ensuring that historic preservation considerations are integrated into the planning process. Interested firms can contact Linda Zemienieski at the provided email or phone number for further details and are encouraged to submit proposals through the Connecticut DAS BidBoard portal.
