ECWRPC now seeking 2015 Technical Assistance Project Requests

The Commission is now seeking member community/county technical assistance project requests for inclusion in our 2015 Work Program. Small-scale planning and GIS mapping projects are solicited and pre-selected during the prior year (i.e. late fall of 2014 for 2015 projects) under the following program areas:

1. General Planning (Comprehensive planning, plan implementation, etc.)
2. Economic Development (Grant assistance, funding identification, and industrial park planning/conceptual layouts.)
3. Transportation (Local road and street issues, traffic forecasts/analyses, PASER inventories, sign inventories, Safe Routes to School, bicycle and pedestrian planning, etc.)
4. Community Facilities / Infrastructure (Sewer, water, stormwater, utilities, etc.)
5. Park, Open Space and Recreation (Recreation plan, trail plan, park site planning, etc.)
6. Environmental Management (Wetland, floodplain, farmland, conservation, etc.)
7. Demographic Services (Census data, trend analysis/interpretation, and housing studies/assessments.)
8. Geographic Information Systems (Data development, custom mapping, map updates, and tourism/marketing materials.)

Please confer with your community’s department heads and/or Board/Council, Plan Commission and Park and Recreation Committee on this opportunity over the next several months and provide no more than two project priorities for consideration on the attached form (make copies of the form as needed). Please note that projects listed should be of small scale, localized in nature, and typically should not take more than three to five days of staff time to complete (approx. 24-40 hours total – excluding travel time and night meetings). Project requests should be returned to the Commission via mail, fax (920-751-4771) or e-mail ([email protected]) no later than 4:00 p.m. on Friday, November 14, 2014.
