The Mount Ascutney Regional Commission (MARC) requests proposals from qualified consultants to conduct a regional housing study. This housing study will help to address our regional housing needs by identifying potential development and redevelopment sites well suited for housing that are located within community centers and are served by municipal water and sewer. The intent of this study is to address the need for homes across the MARC region by identifying potential sites for housing development. Potential sites include undeveloped lots, underutilized parcels, and vacant buildings. It is being funded by MARC through its regional planning funds grant agreement with the VT Agency of Commerce and Community Development (ACCD). All consultants, and any sub-contractors, must comply with any and all applicable laws, statutes, ordinances, rules, regulations, and/or requirements of federal, state, and local governments and agencies thereof, which relate to or in any manner affect the performance of this agreement.

The project should consider not only multi-unit dwellings, but also a range of missing middle housing types (e.g. single-detached homes, duplexes, triplexes, tiny homes, accessory dwelling units, co-housing, manufactured and/or tiny house communities).
