WS - C - NaviRetail Proposal

SCOPE OF WORK Phase 1 Critical Path Method (CPM) & Project Kickoff Thank you for taking the initiative to be proactive rather than reactive. By hiring us, you're proving that the future development in Tiffin is a priority that cannot be ignored. Our critical path method (CPM) includes several discussion topics listed below. We look forward to kicking off this project with the city and discussing our approach. Our plan, while not necessarily a step-by-step guide, will aid in the decisions the city will be making in determining the future for Tiffin. We will place much emphasis on ensuring economic democracy amongst current businesses so as not to change the self-managed enterprises that already exist in the local market. We will thoroughly research and analyze various aspects about the community, even outside of the local economy, so that we offer the most complete perspective available by an outside firm. The topics presented will be done so in a diplomatic fashion, but with the utmost importance placed on truth, accuracy, and pragmatism. Topics To Be Covered: This list is simply a minimum list of topics to be included and is expected to grow as this process continues and our data is gathered. • Business Feasibility and Consumer Targeting • Overall Aesthetics of the Tiffin Market • Government Organization and Economic Solidarity • Inclusion and Availability of Small Business Resources • Available Properties Highest and Best Uses • Future Housing Development • Infrastructure Improvements and Expansion • Retail Education and Current Business Development • Tourism Planning and Staffing Considerations • Young Talent Retention Strategies • Workforce Development and Education 9
