Comprehensive Plan
The Town of Davidson, North Carolina
Submittal Deadline: July 16, 2008
The Town of Davidson, North Carolina is requesting qualifications
statements from consultant teams to work with staff and stakeholders on
the Davidson Comprehensive Plan. Davidson is a village of 9,900
residents and home to Davidson College, one of the nation's top liberal
arts colleges. The town is located 20 miles north of Charlotte along
I-77, bordered on the west by Lake Norman and on the east by rural farms
and residential areas. Good schools, historic architecture, a thriving
downtown, and the academic setting have resulted in increased
development pressure both locally and regionally. The Town of Davidson
has made a commitment to preserve its small town identity. Town
leadership has historically been very concerned with promoting
community, walkability and physical small town character. In 2004, The
Davidson Planning Ordinance received the EPA Smart Growth Award for
Overall Excellence for its innovative reliance on good urban design to
facilitate community interaction, promote walkability, and preserve the
environment.
The Davidson Comprehensive Plan will reflect on previous planning
efforts, create a unified vision for growth, design strategies for
responsive and efficient administration of local policies, and describe
effective communications and partnership opportunities with regional
stakeholders. The Comprehensive Plan will include traditional elements
for study and recommendation but must also describe current and future
conditions with respect to the Town's indigenous planning language and
objectives.
Qualifications statements must be received by the Town of Davidson by
July 16 at 5:00 P.M. Any questions should be directed towards and ten
(10) copies of the submittal are to be provided to:
