Relocation and Buyout Plan

The Ascension Parish Government is soliciting Requests of Qualifications (RFQ) for a vendor to provide legal guidance and a plan for a relocation and buyout program specifically for the West Bank of Ascension Parish. The program aims to develop a buyout and relocation program on a voluntary basis for residents in areas currently being utilized as residential within the West Bank Industrial Overlay. The selected vendor will be responsible for providing a plan that includes three public meetings, door-to-door surveys, and a clear delineation of the buyout area and its end use. The plan must also address the relocation of property owners, provide a continuum of options for participants, and offer support and incentives to allow property owners to develop their own plans. Key aspects of the project include: * Providing legal guidance and a plan for a relocation and buyout program * Developing a buyout and relocation program on a voluntary basis * Conducting three public meetings and door-to-door surveys * Creating a clear plan for the buyout area and its end use * Addressing the relocation of property owners and providing support and incentives * Ensuring a long-term vision for a healthy, vital community
