The Arizona Regional Economic Development Foundation (ARED) is seeking proposals from qualified consultants or consultant teams to conduct an Adaptive Reuse Feasibility Study for the Community Innovation Center (CIC) in Sierra Vista. Funded in part by the U.S. Economic Development Administration (EDA), the study will explore opportunities to better utilize the existing facility, expand services for businesses and entrepreneurs, and strengthen the CIC's role as a regional hub for workforce development and community collaboration.
The study will include an assessment of the facility, potential programming and operational opportunities, the feasibility of a culinary makerspace, community and stakeholder engagement, and recommendations for future investment and implementation.
Proposals are due December 18, 2026, at 5:00 p.m. Arizona time. Interested consultants are encouraged to review the full Request for Proposals for project details, requirements, and submission instructions.
