Summary
The Town of Ithaca Planning Department is soliciting qualified consultants to deliver professional services for creating Esri ArcGIS Urban scenario planning models covering the South Hill TND, TND Medium Density, and TND High Density areas as outlined in the Town's Future Land Use Map (Solicitation #2136683). Consultants will develop digitized scenario planning models that analyze development impacts including fiscal, housing, infrastructure, and environmental factors, integrate existing GIS data and tools such as ArcGIS Pro, Utility Network, and Cartegraph/OpenGov, conduct cost-of-service analysis, and provide training and documentation for Town staff. The project is funded by a New York State grant, supports Smart Growth principles, adheres to accessible design standards, and is intended to guide municipal officials and developers in planning and development decisions.
