From the meeting
In the October 27, 2026 discussion, Manager Mary Smith said the town had been working with Shaw Outdoor Center Director Andrew Padilla on providing more community access to the recreational facilities at and near the center on Norwich University property. She said the collaboration could expand if the municipality hired a Recreation Director in the next fiscal year. Board member Lydia Petty also noted the Paine Mountain trail system required continued investment to stay in good condition.

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