Citizens’ Institute on Rural Design Issues RFP for Rural Communities

The Citizens' Institute on Rural Design (CIRD) has issued a request for proposals to rural communities facing design challenges — such as Main Street revitalization, how to manage and direct growth, design community-supportive transportation systems, preserve natural and historic landscapes and buildings, protect working agricultural lands, and provide adequate and affordable housing — who are interested in hosting a local workshop in 2014-2015. Successful applicants will receive a $7,000 stipend and in-kind professional design expertise and technical assistance valued at $35,000. The Request for Proposals is posted on the CIRD website.
