The RFP asks for a study of the likely fiscal impacts of a possible annexation of an unincorporated area into the City of Lithonia. The scope of work would not include identifying an area to be annexed. The RFP does not provide any information about the city's annexation plans.
The selected entity would provide "technical assistance to perform the fiscal impact assessment of the potential areas under consideration for annexation, including an assessment of the impacts of the annexation on the finances of the City of Lithonia."
The city says it will review the propoals it receives during the last week of January and develop a short list of firms to invite for an interview. The RFP can be found at http://bit.ly/37SaHvU . Proposal packets are due on Jan. 23.
Nearby Stone Mountain announced last year that it has abandoned any annexation plans. (See PRISM DeKalb story at http://bit.ly/36JuI7R .)
