From Yahoo: PGAV announces Andy Struckhoff as the new President of PGAV Planners, LLC, the firm’s fast-growing urban planning practice subsidiary. Struckhoff, elevated from his role as Vice President, has led the group to achieve deeper regional partnerships; working with the City of St. Louis to develop the Economic Justice Action Plan, with the 24:1 Municipal Collaborative on a joint land use plan and economic development strategy, many other communities throughout the region to develop solutions to planning challenges, and with Cortex to help them grow into their next phase of evolution.
“Helping communities tell their story; helping residents see their neighborhoods in ways that, perhaps, they haven’t before, is what energizes me,” said Struckhoff. “I am honored to lead this talented team and I look forward to helping PGAV grow across the country. There are so many communities across the nation tasked with addressing growth in an equitable way, and that is where our team excels.”
For more than a decade Struckhoff has helped PGAV clients remake their shared spaces. In addition to award-winning public planning, the team also supports communities with the complex financing that comes with development and land use decisions. To date, PGAV planning has assisted hundreds of communities in the U.S. and helped clients to develop more than $3 billion in real estate. PGAV leaders are thrilled for Andy to step into this new role.
“There is no better person to lead this team,” said Mike Konzen, CEO and Chair, PGAV. “Andy has a great insight and talent for listening and learning from each community. He partners with them to reach their goals. That includes innovative planning and design ideas that break through long-standing challenges.”
The announcement comes at a time when many local leaders are searching for new thinking around transformation of their public spaces. Economic developers have seen the result first hand.
