(Esri) <br />Professional Services to provide consulting services for preparing data and deploying technology <br />solutions to support the city’s Comprehensive Plan Update and Middle Housing Project. <br />Many cities in Washington State are experiencing population growth from a diverse <br />demographic group, leading to housing inventory and affordability challenges. The need for <br />more housing to accommodate this growth, as well as a broader array of housing types to meet <br />various needs and income levels, is paramount as jurisdictions plan for the future. <br />Esri proposes to design, configure, launch, and enable a suite of geospatially enabled solutions <br />grounded in ArcGIS.
