Bloomfield Development Partnership
First, thank you for your support over the past year. We are excited to see the Bloomfield Centre redevelopment process progress, with the completion of the David Harrison and Anne Mueke’s report on best practices for community development and a workplan for the next stages. The report recommends that a Bloomfield Development Partnership be formed, and that Imagine Bloomfield, HRM as well as two other development partners be the key partners. Imagine Bloomfield completed its own needs assessment in Spring 2010 and found that 65 organizations and arts and culture groups are in need of space and want to be at Bloomfield.Imagine Bloomfield and HRM are in the process of developing Terms of Reference so that we can work together efficiently and effectively. We are all very excited about this, and hope that this development model provides a new way of doing things with public space in HRM.
RFP & REOI Process
HRM is now in the midst of hiring a second consultant to conduct a Request for Expression of Interest and Request for Proposals for developers and organizations interested in being part of the development partnership and in being at the Centre itself. We look forward to working with this consultant to ensure that all groups who responded to our needs assessment are aware of the process and able to respond to the RFP.
