DESCRIPTION OF PROCUREMENT
The University is conducting an RFP for Services Of A Technical Lead For Property Tax Reform

LoGRI requires the services of a lead technical expert to provide support to a portfolio of property tax reform projects, and related initiatives, which are central to the broader LoGRI work program.
