New talent has arrived! Delaney Krasner recently joined the Augusta County planning department. In anticipation of the many collaborative projects ahead, we asked her a few questions to learn more about her.
About Delaney
A: I am originally from Worcester, Massachusetts and completed my undergraduate studies in New York and attended graduate school in Texas.
A: When not working I spend my time playing cello.
A: It might come as a surprise to learn that I used to play the bagpipes and once worked at a zoo—specifically taking the flamingos for their daily walks!
About Delaney's New Role
A: What interests me the most about this work is the holistic approach; it requires pulling pieces from law, ecology, economics, and human behavior all at once. At the core are real people and real communities. I love when I get to engage with community members and can add not only quantitative data, but the qualitative and human element that no data can fully capture on its own.
A: In the next year or two, working with Greenville residents to develop a small area plan [in accordance with the 2045 comprehensive plan]. The plan will incorporate the desires of residents and identify new opportunities for growth compatible with the unique character of the area.
