Marion County is issuing a Request for Information to gather input from qualified organizations capable of designing and delivering a Business Retention and Expansion Program. The initiative aims to strengthen the County’s understanding of local business conditions, support existing businesses, and improve readiness for business expansion and investment opportunities. The program focuses on enhancing situational awareness, identifying risks and growth potential among businesses, and enabling timely responses to business needs. Additionally, it seeks to support economic development efforts through data-driven decision-making, improved coordination, and strategic recommendations for incentive programs. Respondents are encouraged to provide feedback on program design, identify service gaps, and express interest in future Request for Proposals opportunities. This RFI uses a Statement of Objectives approach, emphasizing desired outcomes rather than prescribed methods, allowing respondents to propose innovative and effective solutions aligned with Marion County’s economic development goals.
