The City of Decatur Planning and Zoning Division announces that Courtney Frisch has joined the department as the new Planner. She comes to the City of Decatur from the City of Roswell, where she worked as a transportation planner. During her time with Roswell she worked on projects that included sidewalk inventory analysis and policy change, the Jones Road Corridor Study, and creating and maintaining the interactive online map and factsheets of current and future transportation projects for the city.
Courtney, a Decatur resident and graduate of Decatur High School, received her Bachelor’s Degree in Appropriate Technology and a double minor in Sustainable Development and Urban and Regional Planning from Appalachian State University. Courtney also holds a Master of Science in Planning with a specialization in transportation planning from Florida State University. She was awarded the Florida State University and Florida’s Department of Transportation transit fellowship allowing her to intern at StarMetro, Tallahassee’s transit agency.
“There is something to be said for working for the community in which I was raised and am now raising my own family,” Frisch says. “I am so honored to be a part of the City of Decatur team and am passionately looking forward to continually improving the quality of life for both the residents and visitors of Decatur.”
Frisch will be responsible for assisting with the functions of the Planning Commission and Historic Preservation Commission, providing a plan review for subdivisions, commercial and multi-family developments, contributing transportation planning skills to the City’s Complete Streets Team, and other initiatives that support and fulfill the goals within the City’s Strategic Plan.
