Due to a special called meeting running longer than anticipated, the 6:00 p.m. meeting began later than scheduled. Because the livestream was set to a fixed broadcast time, it began mid-meeting of a special called meeting, which was TRAINING – QUASI-JUDICIAL PROCESS.

This note is being shared to provide context in case there is any confusion about why the broadcast begins mid-meeting of the special called meeting. Thank you for understanding.

Happy Passover to all who celebrate. Wishing you peace, reflection, and time with loved ones.

Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for Downtown Master Plan and Small Area Planning Services

Town of Zebulon, North Carolina

The Town of Zebulon is seeking qualified consulting firms to prepare three targeted Small Area Plans to guide redevelopment, infrastructure investment, and private-sector reinvestment in strategic locations across the community, with a focus on delivering practical, market-supported, implementation-ready strategies.

Zebulon is experiencing rapid growth and transition from a small town to a small city. This effort is intended to move beyond conceptual planning and produce implementation-ready plans that align land use, infrastructure, market realities, and fiscal sustainability.

The selected consultant will develop plans for:

· Downtown Zebulon

· Wakefield Area

· West Gannon Avenue

Corridor Maps for the general location of these areas can be found in the attachments. Each plan must provide clear, actionable strategies that can inform policy decisions, capital investment, and private development.

Proposals due May 2, 2026.
