North Attleboro is issuing Requests for Proposals for consultant(s) to develop a mixed-use overlay district & bylaw and to complete a land inventory for strategic planning services. These are separate projects although a consultant can submit a proposal for more than one. North Attleboro is looking for a consultant to work with the Town to create a mixed-use overlay district primarily for these areas and perhaps be a tiered approach. The project can possibly expand to further codification of the zoning bylaws.
