After doing community outreach, it was determined that the City of Caribou needed to do a Housing Study to determine what kind and how much new housing is needed in Caribou. On March 4, 2024, the City applied for a Municipal Grant to assist with the development and cost of the housing study through the Maine Department of Economic & Community Development. Status as of 1/1/2025: The city was sent a letter on October 7, 2024 that our application was a high scoring application and a “conditional contract” was awarded. We are awaiting further information. As soon as we have received the notice to proceed, a request for proposal (RFP) meeting DECD guidelines will be posted on the City’s website’s RFP page located at cariboumaine.org/rfps.
The City of Caribou’s full application can be viewed here.
