From the meeting
At its October 14, 2026 meeting the council received a zoning petition to add indoor urban farm uses to several districts. The proposal would allow community gardens, rooftop farming, vertical farming, greenhouses, and indoor hydroponic or aquaponics systems, with conditions for lot size, screening, parking, and outdoor storage. The sales value is in future site development and tenant buildout if the zoning change advances.

Questions about this project
What is a pre-RFP?
A pre-RFP is an early indicator that a government agency is planning a purchase — a project discussed in a board meeting, a budget line item, a new hire, or a grant award — captured before a formal RFP or bid is published. Acting on pre-RFPs gives SLED and B2G vendors months of lead time to build relationships and shape requirements.

Pre-RFPs typically surface 6–18 months before a formal solicitation is published. Civic IQ tracks City of New Britain's meeting records, agendas, and budgets continuously and updates this pre-RFP as the project moves through the buying cycle toward an RFP.
