From the meeting
At its October 26, 2026 special meeting the White Plains Urban Renewal Agency approved a 50-year lease to the City of White Plains for the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard Extension.
The leased site will be used for the Water Street Connector, a linear recreational pathway with a walking path, play equipment, shade structures, benches, a water bottle filling station, bike racks, and landscaping. The City had been awarded a $2,250,000 New York State Department of State Downtown Revitalization Initiative grant for the project. The lease calls for $6,000 annual rent, increasing 2% each year, and the project may proceed under the approved lease.

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