<p class="MsoNormal">Hi everyone,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Writing because my team at the City of Newton, MA has an open position for a Planner Associate (<a href="https://jobs.keldair.com/cityofnewton/jobs/63509/planning-associate-citywide-planningafscme-only">see link here</a>). This is an entry-level
position, great for a relatively recent graduate. One note is this position will be with the Long Range Planning team, not the current planning team.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We are fresh off successfully <a href="https://www.newtonbeacon.org/city-council-passes-scaled-down-village-center-rezoning-plan/">
updating our zoning ordinance</a> to comply with the MBTA Communities Act by allowing small- to mid-size infill multi-family/mixed-use development. Now that the zoning is passed, there will be a good amount of follow-up related to implementation that this position
will assist with.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">What is great about the Long Range Planning team is that we mostly determine what we work on. The person filling this role will be able to help shape our work, ranging from larger scale master planning/rezoning, policy research, economic
analysis, smaller zoning updates, urban design studies, etc.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Anyone interested please feel free to reach out to me with any questions. Happy holidays and new year!<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Best,<o:p></o:p></p>
