REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS FOR SPONSOR-A-HIGHWAY PILOT PROGRAM

 1.         OBJECTIVES

The Accomack-Northampton Planning District Commission, hereinafter referred to as the “PDC”, is soliciting proposals from a responsible Contractor to provide litter removal services for roadways on the Eastern Shore of Virginia through a pilot-stage “Sponsor-A-Highway” Program.

We are aware that our staff contact directory is down. We are in the process of redesign of the website and expect to fix this issue very soon. In the meantime, you can reach up at 757-787-2936 or 757-787-2800. We apologize for any inconvenience.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture Rural Development and Virginia Cooperative Extension have announced that two Virginia regions were selected for the 2015-16 Stronger Economies Together (SET) initiative. The Eastern Shore, consisting of Accomack and Northampton counties and Tangier Island, and the Mount Rogers Planning District, made up of Bland, Carroll, Grayson, Smyth, Washington, and Wythe counties and the cities of Bristol and Galax, will benefit from a focused initiative to explore regional economic advantages and to formulate economic blueprints for the regions.

The Accomack-Northampton Planning District Commission (A-NPDC) is in the midst of collecting feedback from the people of the Eastern Shore for the Regional Plan. This plan, once adopted, will govern the actions of the A-NPDC. Staff have designed a short survey (approximately 10 questions, many with simple answers) with four open ended questions about your ideas. The results will be fed into a system that will be searched for common themes so that the A-NPDC can concentrate our work on things that unite us.
