From the meeting
At its October 26, 2026 meeting, the council said it had selected Ashley Abeid as the new DDA Director after interviewing 15 applicants and narrowing the field to five. Abeid came from MacKinnon Consulting and said she would bring downtown and small-business engagement experience. This is a buying trigger for downtown planning, engagement, and event support.
The next practical conversations are with Abeid and City Manager Baaki as downtown priorities are set.

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