In preparation for the Update, the Arlington Redevelopment Board (ARB) approved the AMPUp Advisory Committee on May 20, 2024. The Advisory Committee consists of 13 Arlington residents representing a mix of homeowners, renters, local business owners, long-time residents, and newer residents, reflecting the various populations within our Town, along with two representatives of the Arlington Redevelopment Board (ARB). The Committee will help guide our community outreach efforts as we begin outlining the needs and goals of the Town to carry us into 2036.

The Committee is in the process of selecting a Consultant who will be responsible for generating AMPUp content, providing input on best practices, and leading community participation sessions. The Committee will review and make recommendations on materials prepared by the Consultant and/or staff, as well as provide guidance with community outreach efforts. The AMPUp Advisory Committee will meet once per month for the remainder of 2024-2025.

On September 23, 2024, the Committee received a total of six proposals in response to the Request For Proposals (RFP) for a Consultant. Due to the number of proposals received, the AMPUp Advisory Committee and DPCD staff have agreed to use a consultant Selection Committee made up of the Director of DPCD, the ARB's two representatives to the Committee, and four additional Committee members. The Selection Committee will evaluate the proposals based on the Town's RFP Evaluation Criteria. The six proposals received are:
