Deborah Myerson is a professional urban planner who specializes in housing policy. She talks about working for cities all over the country, including Bloomington where she lives. She's currently helping the city's Housing and Neighborhood Development (HAND) Department develop the update of the city's Consolidated Plan, a document required of every place that gets funds from the federal Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). This week as part of her job, she began hosting a number of public meetings that run through September 3 to gather input from Bloomington residents about housing policies of every kind. She also serves on the city's Redevelopment Commission (RDC) and its Council for Community Accessibility, where she chairs the Transportation and Mobility Committee.
