The Town of Thorndike (“the Town ”) seeks proposals from qualified and experienced professional consultants or consultant firms to work with the Town , its staff, Boards, Commissions, and Select Board to prepare a Comprehensive Plan, including an Executive Summary & Implementation Plan through a public driven process. The Town’s current Comprehensive Plan was last updated in 1991. The purpose of the Comprehensive Plan is to guide town-wide growth and development patterns, investments, and initiatives. It is the foundation for determining effective public policy, master planning, and land use decisions for the future. It will provide an ongoing framework for informed and directed development. It serves as the guiding policy document for many of the Town’s most critical decisions. The plan should reflect the needs, values, and priorities of the community while safeguarding the Town ’s sense of place, history, and natural resources. To this end, the Comprehensive Plan needs to be a realistic document with goals, policies, and guidance that can be holistically and collaboratively implemented. Direct any questions regarding this request for the plan in general to Doreen Berry, Select Board Member by emailing selectboard1@thorndikeme.com
