Prior to joining TischlerBise, Mr. Griffin worked for the New Orleans Business <br /> Alliance (NOLABA) — the non-profit agency tasked with leading economic development initiatives for <br /> the City of New Orleans. During his time with NOLABA, he conducted field surveys to determine the <br /> economic health of key retail corridors and researched economic development initiatives. Prior to <br /> working for NOLABA, Mr. Griffin worked for the Jefferson Parish Planning Department where he gained <br /> experience in the short-range planning division. This provided practical experience in planning and <br /> zoning while also providing insight into the daily operations of a public sector planning department. Mr. <br /> Griffin also worked for the Preservation Resource Center of New Orleans where he helped guide the <br /> historic preservation staff through their own subdivision process. This involved working with the City's <br /> planning and real estate departments, conducting public outreach, and representing the non-profit at <br /> council meetings. Finally, Mr. Griffin served as a facilitator during community meetings for the Livable <br /> Claiborne Communities study and worked with the New Orleans Redevelopment Authority to identify <br /> alternative sources of funding and redevelopment strategies to support the agency's mission of reducing <br /> blight and revitalizing the City of New Orleans. <br /> EDUCATION <br /> M.A., Urban and Regional Planning, University of New Orleans <br /> B.B.A., Finance, University of Mississippi <br /> SELECTED IMPACT FEE AND INFRASTRUCTURE FUNDING STRATEGY EXPERIENCE <br /> • City of Buckeye, Arizona–Development Impact Fee Study <br /> • City of Casa Grande,Arizona–Development Impact Fee Study <br /> • Final County,Arizona–Development Impact Fee Study <br /> • City of Sierra Vista,Arizona–Development Impact Fee Study <br /> • City of Tempe, Arizona–Development Impact Fee Study <br /> • City of Yuma,Arizona–Development Impact Fee Study <br /> • City of Lemoore, California–Development Impact Fee Study <br /> • Town of Mammoth Lakes, California–Development Impact Fee Study <br /> • City of Suisun City, California–Development Impact Fee Study <br /> 7 <br />
