The Redevelopment Authority is seeking proposals from qualified and experienced communication consultants who are able to assist with developing and implementing a communications plan for the RDA's various activities. Since the RDA has no communication staff, it requires outside assistance with ongoing media and communications needs, including: Responding to press inquiries, writing articles and op-eds, placing articles and stories in newspapers and other media outlets, helping the RDA clarify roles and projects for public understanding, identify media outlets that might help the RDA better communicate its work, develop responses to more complicated questions or clarify complex issues, assist with public events open to the media.
