Greater Ohio Policy Center (GOPC), in partnership with the Lincoln Institute of Land Policy, supported by its Consortium for Scenario Planning and Legacy City Initiative, are seeking an Ohio municipality interested in participating in a seven-month scenario planning process to address challenges facing legacy cities.

This project will pair the selected municipality with Lincoln Institute experts and GOPC to apply the LegacySP toolkit. The toolkit guides communities through a scenario planning process to identify strategies to address long-standing emerging or future trends.

The deadline to apply to this Request for Proposal (RFP) is Friday, October 6, 2023.

Earlier this year, GOPC and the Lincoln Institute facilitated an exploratory scenario planning session for the city of Lakewood.  Lakewood is a first ring suburb of Cleveland, which has proudly and deliberately maintained itself as a mixed-income community.
