Amsterdam, which is located in New York’s Montgomery County on the banks of the Mohawk River, is floating a $200K contract for economic development.
The city of about 20K was once a major producer of carpets (Mohawk and Sanford-Bigelow brands) but the industrial base went into a steep decline during the 1990s.
The Dept. of Community & Economic Development wants a communications partner as it plots the post-industrial future of Amsterdam.
The desired firm will “keep the general public, stakeholders, and potential site selectors informed on the progress of the variety of projects taking place with the city,” according to the RFP.
It must have experience in working with municipalities and non-profit organization's economic marketing initiatives. It also will know how to deal with New York State economic development grants.
Proposals are due Nov. 5. Send three hard copies and an electronic version of the proposal to:
City of Amsterdam
Clerk’s Office
Attention: Amanda Bearcroft
61 Church Street Amsterdam, NY 12010
