The Southeast Louisiana Clean Fuel Partnership has a new co-director, Aspen Nero. She joined the Regional Planning Commission in October 2022. As a Gulf Coast native, Aspen is dedicated to creating a sustainable and resilient region within Southeast Louisiana. At her undergraduate alma mater, the University of Mississippi, she helped create the Mississippi Alumni and Students for Sustainability (MASS) which established an opt-in green fund at the university to help fund clean energy off-sets and sustainability projects. She has a master’s in Urban and Regional Planning from the University of New Orleans and has focused her planning efforts on mitigation and environmental planning. Before joining the Regional Planning Commission as an Environmental Planner and Clean Cities Co-Director, she worked in local government at the City of New Orleans as a land use planner doing stormwater planning and capital planning. When not working as a planner, she spends her time crafting for Mardi Gras and hiking with her husky whenever they get a chance to explore land above sea level. She’s excited to join Clean Cities and the RPC and start meeting with local stakeholders and municipalities in the coming months.
