Ohio River Vision and Strategic Plan (ORVSP)
The ORVSP, by lead consultant Sasaki, was published and presented to the community in May of 2024 and made possible by the State’s READI 1.0 initiative. This Riverfront Vision plan, driven by community input, recommends several implementation strategies for riverfront redevelopment in three key focus areas along 50 miles of riverfront: Downtown Evansville, Downtown Mt. Vernon and Downtown Newburgh.
As part of Sasaki’s recommendations for the Town of Newburgh to accomplish a sustainable downtown resurgence, a parking study is needed. The entire plan is available at orvsp.engage.sasaki.com.
The Evansville Regional Economic Partnership, as the driver of the Ohio River Vision, and in collaborating with Newburgh stakeholders, invites qualified and experienced consultants to submit a proposal for a comprehensive parking study focusing on the historic downtown core in the Town of Newburgh, Indiana.
OBJECTIVES
To inventory and assess the utilization of publicly available parking across the day, during events and throughout each season.
To identify downtown needs and opportunities in relation to recognized standards of similar communities.
To identify surface parking areas that could be development opportunities and how to replace any lost parking spaces while complimenting the historic nature of the town.
To develop recommended parking management strategies and programs to address current and future downtown parking needs.
Proposals must be submitted on or before October 1, 2024 to:
