From the meeting
At its October 22, 2026 meeting, council considered applying for Land and Water Conservation Fund money through the Ohio Department of Natural Resources for recreation improvements. The packet tied the request to pickleball courts, a walking path, and a pavilion, with 50% matching funds and preliminary cost estimates ranging from $150,000 to $980,000. The mayor's report later said the city withdrew the request for now because of the short timeline and uncertainty over which project to pursue.
The next useful conversation is around which project will be built and when the city may reapply in the spring.

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 Northwood's meeting records, agendas, and budgets continuously and updates this pre-RFP as the project moves through the buying cycle toward an RFP.
