Communities planning under the Washington State Growth Management Act (GMA) are required to update their comprehensive plans every eight years The City of Stanwood is required by RCW 36.70A.130 to update their Comprehensive Plan by June 30, 2024. The City of Stanwood is seeking a multidisciplinary consultant team to update the City's Comprehensive Plan for the 2024 - 2044 planning horizon as required by the Growth Management Act. The multidisciplinary team may consist of a single firm that provides full in-house services or a team approach where the lead consultant will include specialized services provided by other firms. Consultant teams will be required to show their experience in land use planning, visioning, demographic analysis, community design, economic analysis, GIS mapping, capital facilities planning, and public outreach facilitation. There are two primary objectives of the Comprehensive Plan update: 1) examine the challenges faced by the community and provide strategies for overcoming those challenges and 2) identify opportunities for community growth as outlined in the Puget Sound Regional Vision 2050 Plan while preserving the City's small-town vision and quality of life. The City wants to ensure that growth occurs in a way that considers quality of life, placemaking, and other community character goals. This update is not about adopting a new vision for the community, but instead builds upon decades of planning activities to update and refine the vision for the community.
