WHAT THEY WANT
(Summarized from the RFP)
The City of East Palo Alto is seeking an economic development consultant to serve as an extension of City staff, on call and as needed, in implementing its Economic Development Strategic Plan (EDSP). The City Council adopted the EDSP in January 2026 as a ten-year roadmap to strengthen economic resilience, support local businesses and entrepreneurs, expand workforce opportunities, and position the City for long-term fiscal sustainability, and recently approved a Five-Year Implementation Plan built on foundational initiatives that existing staff can deliver with consultant support.
