From the meeting
At the October 7, 2026 meeting, the board noted that VOREC grants have opened or are opening. They discussed using the funding for a reuse plan for FEMA buyouts or a recreation plan that highlights trails and other recreational opportunities. Julie said the grants are limited to planning only, so the work is still in the concept stage.

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.
When will Town of Chester issue an RFP for this project?
Pre-RFPs typically surface 6–18 months before a formal solicitation is published. Civic IQ tracks Town of Chester's meeting records, agendas, and budgets continuously and updates this pre-RFP as the project moves through the buying cycle toward an RFP.
How can vendors engage with Town of Chester before the RFP is published?
