BEDC SEEKS A QUALIFIED CONSULTANT TO DRAFT AN INVESTMENT ATTRACTION CLUSTER TARGETING STRATEGY
Burlington Economic Development has initiated a Request for Proposal (RFP) process to identify a consultant qualified to (in)validate past internal findings and draft an investment attraction cluster targeting strategy. The project should identify industry clusters that exhibit strong potential for future growth and creation of high value employment. Factors such as existing supply chains in Burlington, the talent pool within the city and its commuter base, and unique assets that promote cluster growth should be incorporated. The project should also include a draft cluster targeting strategy based upon Burlington’s existing strengths, assets, and international ownership of the existing business base.
