THE 30-SECOND BRIEF

What's planned

The Village plans to keep 27 S. Union Street as a public parking lot instead of selling a portion for infill development after receiving feedback from downtown businesses and the Chamber. Staff recommend adding resurfacing and improvements for this lot into the FY 2027 budget. This points to an upcoming pavement and site-improvement project where engineering, paving, lighting, and parking design vendors could engage early with the Village.

Background

Original concept was to sell southwest corner for mixed-use or townhomes, but no offers were received and parking value was re-affirmed.

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.
