The Consultant Team will review specific strategies to maximize development potential within each of the current EDDs and CITANs. We will look at potential development and marketing strategies such as infrastructure improvements/upgrades, land control,targeted industries, public-private partnerships, etc. After we have developed strategies for each of the sites, we will develop "order of magnitude" opinion of probable costs as well as anticipated development and permitting timelines (please note that Federal &State permitting can significantly affect timelines) associated with the proposed strategies. Depending on potential development challenges with the sites, the consultant team will look to potential alternative development strategies for each area. While our scope of work is specific to the identified boundaries in the RFP, we will take a holistic look at the EDDs and CITANs. If there are parcels just outside the EDDs and CITANs that might be beneficial to f there are opportunities (i.e. parcels adjacent to or nearby)that we foresee that extend beyond the predefined boundaries of the EDDs and CITANs, we will note that to the County for potential opportunities that could be included with the challenges identified. Our goal in this phase will be to paint a clear picture in terms of potential costs and implementation schedule that will serve as a road map highlighting the most cost effective opportunities that exist with the predefined development areas. Task 3: Present Findings and Establish Priorities After completion of the "Proposed Next Steps Outline,"the Consultant Team will hold individual meetings to present the findings to Staff,the Economic Development Advisory Board, and the Orange County Board of County Commissioners (3 separate meetings) and then hold a meeting for all three groups at the same time (4 meetings total). The meetings will be held to give an overall summary of the SWOT findings for each of the evaluated areas, provide an overview of the proposed next steps for each of the EDD and CITAN areas, and lead the groups in a prioritization process to provide a clear guide for how to proceed forward with plans for each of the EDDs and CITANs.
