[Rowcroft, Jessica (DCR)]

The Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation (DCR) is soliciting proposals for planning services to develop a repositioning strategy and action plan to transition Heritage State Parks (HSP) to Gateway Discovery Centers.  Work will include undertaking a system-wide conditions assessment and development of a prioritized capital improvement plan, development of regional interpretive themes, analysis of current management structures, recommendations for new models of management, and the development of an action plan to implement the transition from Heritage State Parks to Gateway Discovery Centers.
