In December 2010, the second stage of the Bloomfield Masterplan Implementation was completed through a report detailing best practices for multi-partner creative developments as well as recommendations for next steps. Part of the recommendations of the consultants was that a Bloomfield Development Partnership be created. We were pleased to see that one of the partners suggested was Imagine Bloomfield. Since that time we have been working with HRM on what that partnership might look like as well as been involved in the selection of the next consultant who will develop a process for a Request for Proposals for partners and tenants of the redevelopment. This process was to have begun in the spring, however interest in the site from the Halifax Regional Schoolboard causes a delay over the summer. We are please to announce that the RFP stage will commence this fall and we look forward to working with HRM in the coming year as we get closer to realizing some of the results of our work over the past 8 years.
