The 30-second brief
22 pre-RFPs (projects, hiring and grants) found in Town of Chillicothe's meetings, most in parks & recreation and transportation. The latest, from Oct 12: Council scheduled an ordinance package for a school district bus transportation and administration facility, including code amendment, annexation agreement, annexing the property, and rezoning the IVC property to R-1 special use. This is a land-use signal for a future facility, but the agenda does not identify the developer, owner, or design team. The next decision point is the October 12, 2026 council vote. A seller would want to track whether the project moves into site design, infrastructure work, or facility delivery.
Capital Projects leads its tracked contracts and projects, followed by Public Works and Grants.
Latest awards: Engbrecht Concrete for concrete Repairs Approval Set for Engbrecht Concrete (Oct 2026) and New View for tree Removal Invoice Approved for New View (Oct 2026).
