The Metro Council is scheduled to vote on a $1.85 million contract with Fregonese Associates to update the city-parish master plan at its Wednesday evening meeting. Fregonese was selected earlier this year as the firm to handle the master plan update. The work is set to begin in September and the project is expected to take 18 months. A number of local firms will work with Portland-based Fregonese, including ABMB Engineers, Brown+Danos Landdesign, Trahan Architects and WHL Architects. The master plan will help determine how East Baton Rouge Parish will develop over the next 30 years. Fregonese is scheduled to speak at the 2009 Smart Growth Summit on Thursday; officials with the Center for Planning Excellence say he may discuss the master plan update if the contract is approved by then.
