The City of Destin is planning to update its Comprehensive Plan to extend its planning horizon to at least the year 2050, aligning with the Okaloosa-Walton Transportation Planning Organization's Long Range Transportation Plan. This update is required by Florida Statutes and will involve gathering community input through surveys, workshops, and public hearings. Inspire Placemaking Collective, a continuing services contractor, is recommended to facilitate this community engagement process and write the necessary amendments. The project, with a base cost of $211,000, includes developing a project website for feedback and coordinating social media posts. This initiative will involve site planning and analysis, community outreach, and the development of planning documents. Local businesses in consulting, marketing, and administrative support could find opportunities in supporting this long-term planning effort as the project moves forward.
