“I’m incredibly proud of our new Planning Board,” Mantello said. “Each of these five individuals brings a diverse range of experience, yet they all share a common vision for Troy. We aim to foster expansion and growth while preserving the strong sense of community, history and unity that makes our city so special.”
And, Randy Coburn, the City's Commissioner of Planning and Economic Development, said, "I’m excited to have such a talented group of individuals joining the Planning Board. Each member brings a unique background and perspective, but what truly stands out is their shared dedication to Troy’s growth and future. I’m looking forward to working with them to expand and enhance Troy.”
The new appointees:
• Peter Kehoe -- a lawyer in private practice who has served in various leadership positions on local and state boards and advisory groups, including being a past chairman of the Planning Board.
• James Shufelt -- an environmental, health, and safety manager for CD Perry & Sons, a Troy-based general and sub-contractor company.
• Naomi "Toni" Dickinson -- a lifelong Troy resident who has been involved in such community activities as Prospect Park, the Hart Cluett Museum, the Lansingburgh Boys and Girls Club, and the Lansingburgh Historical Society.
• James Scully -- owner of the Bacchus Wood-Fired restaurant and wine bar in downtown Troy with extensive experience in operations management and strategic partnerships such as Hydro Consultants LLC. He has extensive experience in planning and development from a developer’s perspective.
• Jeoffrey York -- an information security professional providing IT security support for General Electric, with a project and program management background in developing IT plans in a corporate environment.
Their first meeting will be held at 6 p.m. Wednesday, September 18.
