The City of Morganton is seeking a dynamic planning consultant firm or team to prepare a new UDO, combining and updating the City’s Zoning, Vested Rights, Subdivision, Flood Damage Prevention, Watershed Protection, and Phase II Stormwater Ordinances.
Established in 1784, the City of Morganton is branded as “Nature’s Playground” and is situated in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains in western North Carolina, approximately 20 miles west of Hickory and 50 miles east of Asheville along the I-40 corridor. Morganton is the County seat and home to a significant number of State facilities, as well as an historic downtown and a spectacular parks and greenway system.
The UDO is intended to build upon the City’s newly adopted Imagine Morganton 2040 Comprehensive Plan and the strong elements in the City’s existing ordinances, while seeking community input and researching best practices to develop recommendations on ordinance areas requiring revisions.
The City of Morganton will be accepting proposals through 5pm, Tuesday, December 23, 2025.
