Neighborhood Planner - City of Flint, MI

Planner I / Neighborhood Planner
City of Flint, Michigan

The City of Flint has a long and painful history regarding urban planning and its practices, principles, and ultimate recommendations. Policy recommendation and implementation measures through the Urban Renewal periods of the 1950’s-1970’s lead to legalized redlining creating massive amounts of urban sprawl, social imbalance and significant racial segregation that exist in current day Flint. Led by the award winning Imagine Flint Master Plan for a Sustainable Flint, over 5,000 Flint residents and community stakeholders engaged for over two years through a series of group sessions (both large and small), neighborhood and block club meetings, and public hearings to unanimously support and approve the City’s first official master plan since 1960. This highly participatory citizen planning process has since been repeatedly highlighted as a true and inclusive planning that is fair, real and tangible for improving the future of Flint.

Within Imagine Flint, Chapter 5: Housing and Neighborhoods, Objective #1 calls for the creation of “neighborhood planning framework areas” with concurrent strategies calling for the development of at least two neighborhood plans each year, for the next five years. A neighborhood plan sets the course for the neighborhoods future. It provides the context from which to evaluate concepts and make policy decisions. The plan and planning process assists community-based organizations in planning their activities to complement and help achieve common neighborhood goals.

To this end, the City of Flint Planning Division was recently awarded a two-year neighborhood planning grant. The funds will be used to develop at least 4 neighborhood plans over the next two years throughout the city. The city of Flint is actively seeking a thoughtful, skilled, and highly personable candidate to fill the Neighborhood Planner/Planner I role that will work closely with thousands of Flint residents and colleagues within the Department of Planning and Development. The position is grant-funded and requires at least a two-year commitment to fulfill the position.

SALARY RANGE: Mid I (1-4 years); $34,000-$41,000
