This initiative builds on those foundations to create an actionable roadmap that prioritizes opportunities, evaluates barriers, and aligns public resources to maximize impact across varied market conditions. The County is soliciting proposals through solicitation number 2026-GEN-0073, with responses due by September 5, 2026, and the work will be led by the Office of Economic Development based in Sacramento. The selected contractor will be tasked with delivering a practical, data-informed strategy that identifies realistic redevelopment opportunities, outlines prioritized actions for County intervention, and provides a clear framework for leveraging both public and private investment. Emphasis will be placed on strategies that enhance neighborhood-serving businesses, improve the physical environment, expand housing options, and foster equitable economic growth. The project will rely on existing background materials, including market studies and corridor maps, and is designed to ensure that revitalization efforts are tailored to the unique context of each corridor while contributing to broader regional goals. The final strategy must be executable, measurable, and designed to support sustainable fiscal outcomes for the County’s unincorporated communities.
