Submittal Deadline: August 1, 2008
The City of Abilene, Texas is soliciting "Statement of Qualifications"
for a South Downtown Master Plan, focused on the southside of Downtown,
from a consulting firm or team with downtown planning, downtown
revitalization, redevelopment, design, and implementation experience.
