From the meeting
On November 4, 2026 the board received the 2026 Community Survey Results for downtown Owosso. The report said the expanded Pulse Poll and Top Prospects Survey were run with Michigan Main Street through the Ready 2 Recruit Program and would be used with the 2026 Market Snapshot and property inventory to guide recruitment, marketing, and future revitalization work. The survey showed interest in new businesses, property acquisition, and business expansion support, but it was informational rather than a procurement award.

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 City of Owosso issue an RFP for this project?
Pre-RFPs typically surface 6–18 months before a formal solicitation is published. Civic IQ tracks City of Owosso'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 City of Owosso before the RFP is published?
Vendors who reach out during the planning window can help shape requirements and build relationships with the decision-makers running the project. A free Civic IQ account sends you the pre-RFPs that fit what you sell, with the AI brief and the decision makers for the top matches in each digest.
