Michael S. Congleton, the second of RLEP’s featured speakers, knows first hand of development pressures and how developers think.
As acting director of planning for the town of Vienna and zoning administrator for first Stafford and then Loudoun and Prince William counties and now assistant to the zoning administrator for Fairfax, he’s seen the problems associated with rapid urbanization.
He was also project engineer for Christopher Consultants, Inc., one of Northern Virginia’s best and busiest development engineering firms.
Mr. Congleton left that job to work again for what he calls “the guys in white hats” — the planning and zoning departments of local government — but his background gives him a unique perspective on both sides of growth and development issues.
Saving open space
