Long Island 2035 Sustainability Plan
Long Island Regional Planning Board (LIRPB), Syosset NY
Submittal Deadline: September 12, 2008

DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT
The Long Island Regional Planning Board (LIRPB) is inviting proposals to
develop a plan to secure the sustainable development of Long Island's
economy and social and natural environment over the next 25 to 30 years.
The scope of the plan is a comprehensive Island-wide review, under the
leadership of the LIRPB and with the oversight of Nassau and Suffolk
Counties, in collaboration with business, environmental, philanthropic,
not-for-profit, civic and community leaders.

Issues to be studied include declining economic development, shortage of
employment leading to upward mobility, aging and inadequate physical
infrastructure, high energy costs, heavy local tax burdens, efficacy of
our K through 12 education system,  lack of affordable housing, an
inadequate public transportation system, declining amount of open space,
threats to the potable water supply, surface water and air quality,
global climate change and geographical segregation of the population by
age, income and race.

The goal of this solicitation is to engage a qualified consultant or
team of qualified consultants to prepare a plan for Long Island along
the lines of New York City's PlaNYC 2030, www.nyc.gov/html/planyc2030
<http://www.nyc.gov/html/planyc2030> , which addresses the
sustainability of New York City. The Long Island 2035 Sustainability
Plan should strive for regional equity as a core concern: such that all
analysis and recommendations shall consider the entire region, including
all communities and all people, and guard against policies and actions
that will produce racial or class disparate impacts, or perpetuate
racial or class segregation. The Plan should reflect awareness of the
relationships between Nassau and Suffolk Counties and the New York
Metropolitan region, particularly the need for coordinated
sustainability plans to create a cleaner, greener, greater and more
socially and economically equitable Long Island and New York
Metropolitan area.
