Tupelo council authorizes contract to finish Comprehensive Plan 2040
Summary
Council authorized the mayor and city clerk to enter a professional services contract with the Mavis (Mabus) Company to complete the final phase of Comprehensive Plan 2040, producing a full plan, executive summary and a one-page public overview.
Tupelo City Council authorized the mayor and city clerk to enter into a professional services contract to complete the city's Comprehensive Plan 2040.
Tanner, who spoke on the item, said the Mavis Company of Tupelo (also referenced in the transcript as Mabus/Mavis) has collected the required information from the consulting firm GMC and staff and will produce three deliverables: a comprehensive plan document (estimated 75 to 100 pages), an executive summary of 25 pages or fewer, and a one-page public-facing overview. Tanner said this is the final phase of a multi-year planning process and requested council approval to contract locally to finalize the documents. The council approved the authorization by voice vote.
Why it matters: The comprehensive plan guides long-range land use, infrastructure, and development policy. Contracting for the final phase puts the plan toward completion and will produce documents intended for public distribution and future council consideration.
