Pre-RFPProfessional ServicesDetected Jun 12, 2026

Frankfort is nearing the fifth year of its current Master Plan, which was last comprehensively updated in 2010, and the superintendent explicitly recommends engaging a qualified planning consultant for the upcoming review and update. Priority focus areas include workforce housing, residential growth, sustainable and resilient land use, economic vitality, and especially redevelopment of the waterfront and east end of Main Street for mixed-use, walkability, public spaces, and high-quality design.The city wants to evaluate the waterfront district and east Main Street corridor to guide future development standards around connectivity, architecture, and sustainability. This is a clear pre‑RFP signal that a formal master planning/implementation consultant procurement is likely in the near term, creating a strong opportunity for planning, urban design, and economic development firms with experience in waterfront and small‑city corridor redevelopment.

Master Plan update is framed as the next phase following recent work on workforce housing and residential growth policies.

Public Updates

The agenda includes a summary of RFP projects from January-June 2026. The item appears to be a status review rather than a new solicitation, award, or contract action. It can still signal which service areas the task force has been sourcing and whether follow-on work may reappear later in the year.
