RANGELEY — The town has contracted the multi-discipline engineering firm Wright-Pierce to complete a downtown revitalization plan for Rangeley and Oquossoc.
On March 6, Wright-Pierce held a kick-off meeting with the Rangeley Region Economic Opportunity Committee.
The meeting was the first step in the planning phase of this project. During this phase, Wright-Pierce will also meet with the Select Board of Rangeley, gather base mapping and background documents, and develop a survey to gather information from citizens and business owners.
They will then develop draft concept plans and hold a public workshop to gather input on these plans.
The first public workshop will be held from 6 to 8 p.m. Wednesday, May 30. Wright-Pierce will incorporate the public input and develop a final concept plan.
The process is expected to take six to nine months, with a goal to present the final plan in November. During this time Rangeley’s Economic Development Consultant Darryl Sterling will work with Wright-Pierce to identify funding options associated with the recommended goals.
