The City of Westfield seeks proposals to develop a Comprehensive Master Plan for the City of Westfield consistent with the requirements under MGL Chapter 41, Section 81D.

The City needs to update its functionally obsolete 1962 Master Plan. Designated as a “Gateway City” and home to over 40,000 individuals, it the fourth most populous Massachusetts municipality west of Worcester. At 47 sq. mi., Westfield is the Commonwealth’s third largest city in land area.

The final scope of work will be negotiated with selected consultant, incorporating accepted aspects of the proposal. The key outcomes will be a citywide, long-range/generational plan that articulates a vision and goals for the continuing development of the City, establishes a framework for ongoing and more detailed planning efforts, and prioritizes and coordinates city actions over the short- mid- and long-term.  The City anticipates pursing a future zoning overhaul based on the Master Plan effort.

RFP may be obtained from the City of Westfield 59 Court Street, Westfield, MA 01085, Monday through Friday 9 am to 5 pm; t.tefft@cityofwestfield.org; 413-572-6254.
