Perry County Redevelopment Commission Seeks Firms to Mow Forest Canton Subdivision Lots

The Perry County Redevelopment Commission posted a Request for Information on its county website March 6, 2026, inviting qualified firms or individuals to submit information about providing mowing and trimming services for vacant lots the commission owns or manages in the Forest Canton subdivision. Responses are due March 20.

The RFI, which the commission also announced on Facebook under the heading "Forest Canton Subdivision Vacant Lot Mowing," targets businesses or sole operators capable of maintaining the subdivision's vacant parcels. The commission did not specify in the public announcement how many lots are included, their total acreage, or how frequently mowing cycles would occur.

Key contract details, including compensation, insurance requirements, bonding, and contract length, were not included in the public-facing announcement. The full RFI document posted to the Perry County website is the authoritative source for submission instructions, required documentation, and the name and contact information of the commission staff member handling responses.

The commission gave firms and individuals a 14-day window to respond from the March 6 release date to the March 20 deadline. Landscaping contractors or sole proprietors interested in the work should retrieve the complete RFI from the Perry County Redevelopment Commission's page on the county website before submitting.

The Forest Canton subdivision lots represent publicly held property the commission has taken responsibility for managing. Keeping vacant lots mowed is a standard obligation for redevelopment bodies, both for code compliance and to maintain neighborhood conditions while parcels await future development or disposition.
