The City of Takoma Park, known for its progressive politics, is seeking a creative, dynamic individual to serve as its new Community Development Coordinator. The successful candidate must be creative, have a passion for the principles of smart growth, be able to recognize and
take advantage of even the smallest of opportunities, be comfortable advocating on behalf of the City, and have the skills needed to develop, manage, and complete a mix of diverse projects, often with limited funds. A strong pragmatic streak, level head, sense of humor and ability to get along with others is helpful. Equally important is the ability to function simultaneously at the macro and micro level.
This is an opportunity to work with a small but engaged community on a variety of neighborhood initiatives; facilitate public and private investment; further the multi-modal transportation goals of the City; assist small businesses; and nurture partnerships with the State of Maryland, Montgomery and Prince George's Counties and other agencies too numerous to mention. One of the primary focuses of the position is implementation of the recommendations of the Takoma Langley Crossroads Sector Plan and the New Hampshire Avenue Corridor Concept Plan. Aiding in this effort is a small but dedicated and talented planning staff, who the selected candidate will supervise.
Salary Range is $32.37 to $35.96 per hour / $67,330 to $74,797 per year
