RFP: Town of Greig Zoning Law Update
/REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL RFP No. 26-01 Town of Greig Zoning Law Update
The Town of Greig is soliciting proposals from qualified Consultants to prepare a comprehensive update to the Town’s Zoning Law. This project is funded through the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) Adirondack Park Community Smart Growth Grant Program. The DEC contract period with the Town is anticipated to run from April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2029; however, the Town anticipates completing the project within 12 to 18 months of contract execution. In 2024, the Town was awarded funding through this program to develop its first Comprehensive Plan, which is anticipated to be adopted in April 2026. The Zoning Law Update will be guided by and implement the goals, policies, and recommendations of the Comprehensive Plan. Updates to zoning administration, including application materials and Planning Board Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), will also be included to support effective and consistent implementation. The Town invites qualified Consultants with demonstrated experience in zoning and land use regulation to submit proposals for this project. A Zoning Advisory Committee will be established prior to contract award and will serve as a steering committee throughout the planning process.
The St. Lawrence County Planning Office is seeking an entry level Planner to join a group of other professionals working in the largest County, by area, in the State. The successful candidate will have strong communication and writing skills and be familiar with GIS. Work will be varied but responsibilities include collecting and analyzing data, preparing graphic materials, assisting with community planning projects and programs, and staffing various advisory boards such as the County Planning Board, Environmental Management Council, Agricultural and Farmland Protection Board and Fair Housing Taskforce. The work is closely reviewed and is performed under direct supervision of a higher level Planner or the Director of Planning, but incumbents are allowed to work under more general supervision as they increase in professional competence.
