Phase 2 Detailed Design will include preparing a complete tender ready package that shall include; the final design of municipal infrastructure including roadways, stormwater management, water distribution, sanitary sewer collection, and all other related infrastructure necessary to support the development.

Pending the Towns approval of the conceptual plans and the findings of the Phase 1 – Preliminary Design, the Town will negotiate a cost with the consultant to proceed with Phase 2 – Detailed design. Phase 2 will only be completed if the work completed in Phase 1 shows the site is suitable for development and developing the lands is not cost prohibitive.
