Arrivals and Departures

In June City Plan welcomed Environmental Planner II Jasmine Peele. Jasmine is from Stamford and studied Urban and Community Studies at the University of Connecticut with an interest in community planning and zoning in relation to our built and natural environment. Jasmine has taken on the City's Environmental Reviews. When Jasmine's not at work you’ll likely find her listening to old-school R&B while walking her dog, Louie. She is an animal lover, especially of dogs and reptiles. We were also sad to say goodbye to our Deputy Director of Zoning Will Long who a regional planning position with the State of New Jersey. We thank Will for his dedicated service to the City.
