Date Posted:August 3, 2015

The Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning (CMAP) is seeking to hire one full-time employee to help advance the Local Technical Assistance (LTA) program and contribute to the agency’s long-range planning.  The position is expected to be filled at the Senior level.  Compensation will be commensurate with qualifications and experience.

CMAP has also posted a similar Principal level position, which requires additional years of experience, including supervisory experience.  Candidates who are interested in being considered for both positions should apply for them separately.

CMAP is the official regional planning organization for the northeastern Illinois counties of Cook, DuPage, Kane, Kendall, Lake, McHenry, and Will.  CMAP developed and now guides the implementation of metropolitan Chicago's comprehensive regional plan, GO TO 2040, which was adopted unanimously by leaders from across the seven counties in fall 2010.  To address anticipated population growth of more than 2 million new residents, GO TO 2040 establishes coordinated strategies that help the region’s 284 communities address transportation, housing, economic development, open space, the environment, and other quality-of-life issues.  See www.cmap.illinois.gov for more information.

Position Description 

The position is primarily expected to contribute to the management of the LTA program.  This program was initiated in spring 2011 to create new resources for technical assistance and coordinate with existing technical assistance activities.  It has resulted in a series of innovative local projects in the Chicago region that support livability principles, implement GO TO 2040, and build capacity in local communities.  Over 100 projects have been completed to date, with 50 more underway.  Projects include comprehensive plans, corridor or subarea plans, zoning revisions, studies of special topics such as housing or economic development, and similar planning activities.  This program requires travel throughout the region; candidates must have the ability and willingness to work with communities across the region.  For more information on the LTA program, please visit www.cmap.illinois.gov/lta.

The position may also be asked to contribute to other CMAP activities, including but not limited to the update of GO TO 2040, which is due in October 2018, as well as the agency’s general activities in policy, programming, and planning.
