The Town of Williamstown has issued an RFP for consultants for its first Master Plan in 20 years. Two phases for $180,000.

Issues: 

• Continued demand for housing and job creation in Williamstown,
• Sustainability should be woven throughout all elements of the Plan. Williamstown’s Town Meeting has recently adopted a net zero resolution;
• Diversity and inclusion also need to be grounding principles of this project.  A robust public process and creative community engagement strategy will be critical to ensuring the Master Plan fairly reflects the needs of the community.
