Re; Lower Manhattan Communications RFP
I am writing to update all of you on the status of a project that I have undertaken that will be crucial
to the recovery and revitalization of Lower Manhattan.
As you may know, last week the Economic Development Corporation released an RFP on my behalf
for a “Lower Manhattan Communications Plan.” The RFP requests proposals from qualified
communications firms for the design and implementation of a Lower Manhatun Communications
Plan. We are working with FEMA to secure funding for this important project.
As part of the Plan, the firm selected will:
• Develop a strategy for coordinating and communicating critical Information about Lower
Manhattan to target audiences on an ongoing basis
• Create, design, and produce targeted products and services, including a websites and
newsletter, to achieve the above goals
Work closely with the relevant city, state, and federal agencies and their partners to ensure that
V ■ updated information is provided on a timely basis and disseminated effectively
Bids are due to EDC by doss of business on Thursday, April iBch.
I will personally supervise the firm we select to do this job, and the project will be managed by my
office in partnership with the LMDC. I anticipate chat we will find a firm (or group of firms) to carry
out this plan in a creative and innovative fashion. I ask that all of you participate as fully as you can in
this important effort to keep people informed of our progress in Lower Manhattan.
Thank you in advance for your support of this important project.
