Certified
Planner Will Serve Public and Private Sector Clients on Key Projects
Veteran urban planner Megan McLaughlin, AICP, has joined
PlusUrbia Design as its Planning Leader. She has extensive public and private
sector experience in city planning and historic preservation. “The focus
of my career has been to promote memorable places and historical resources as
catalysts for revitalization. This experience gives me a unique ability
to leverage contextual urban design and preservation as economic development
tools for cities,” McLaughlin said.
McLaughlin's professional experience as the City Planner for the City of Coral
Gables, the Preservation Officer for the City of Miami, and as a planning
consultant for cities and towns across the United States have put her in a
strong position to oversee PlusUrbia's growing role as a leader in municipal
planning as well as the firm's increasing Caribbean, Latin and Central
American client portfolio.
In keeping with PlusUrbia’s strong dedication to giving back to the community,
McLaughlin will continue her civic involvement as a Board Member of Dade
Heritage Trust and as a member of the Transportation Aesthetics Review
Committee of the Miami-Dade MPO. Previously, she served as an Executive Board
Member of the National Alliance of Preservation Commissions.
“Megan’s addition
is part of PlusUrbia’s strategic growth plan to provide high-quality contextual
design to both private and public sector clients,” said Juan Mullerat,
PlusUrbia’s founder and director. “We look forward to her collaborative
approach to urban design and her expertise on comprehensive solutions for
historic preservation, urban infill and neighborhood revitalization.”
