Former CVS Feasibility Study RFP

Request for Proposals (“RFP”) is to obtain proposals from qualified firms to conduct and prepare a needs assessment and feasibility study the Town of Castleton can use to help determine whether to keep the former Castleton Village School as the future home of Castleton Recreation for the purpose of providing for an indoor and outdoor multi‐generational recreation center, with outdoor recreation fields and courts, or to sell the building to a private buyer, who would agree to provide a long-term lease to the Town of Castleton for the same purpose. The Town is seeking a systemwide approach to evaluating current recreational facilities and amenities that meets the needs of the Town, and establish goals, develops policies, determines a program pricing methodology, and guidelines that nest or support achievable strategies for a viable and achievable recreation program. This approach must include consideration of selling the building to a private buyer who could then use it for purposes that would support economic development in the Town of Castleton, while providing a no cost (low cost) long term lease back to the Town, for the purpose of recreational programming.
