It is a time of growth in the Town of Florence. Our community is excited to see new and upcoming projects that will entice economic growth and prosperity. We are poised to attract small and large businesses to our town, and the Community Development Director is instrumental in making sure the town grows responsibly to ensure sustainability over many years into the future. For example, the Town Council has adopted the North End Vision Plan for Territorial Square, a mixed-use plan to expand our historic downtown and riverfront into a beautiful corridor for new and existing residents to enjoy.
The Community Development Director manages the department directly involved in planning the future growth of our community including oversight of the General Plan and North End Vision Plan. The director sets the recommendations regarding current and long-range land use, planning, neighborhood planning, transportation planning, and urban design. Our next Community Development Director will lead us into the future while retaining our beautiful historic charm.
