Consultant Services for a Comprehensive Update to the Dorchester County Critical Area Ordinance

Description: Dorchester County Council seeks a consultant to update the County’s Critical Area Ordinance, review consistency with other County plans, evaluate potential map amendments and resource inventories, and revise related planning provisions. The work includes ordinance drafting, GIS maps and data, coordination with County staff and the Critical Area Commission, and public-hearing support, with the revised ordinance to be effective by June 30, 2027. This is a consultant-services procurement funded in part by a $25,000 state grant, not a grant solicitation; proposals are due December 2, 2026.
