Planning for Growth:

Portland’s Eastern Waterfront

Clarion Hotel, Portland, ME

April 10, 2019

@MEREDA2 | #MEREDA2019 www. .com/MEREDA2

This Morning Menu Breakfast event is sponsored by:

Come learn about Portlandʹs economic growth in the East End over the last ten years, including the public

‐private sector partnerships which support it. In 2004, the Portland City Council approved a plan for the

eastern waterfront of the city that proposed a new street grid, redevelopment of the old Portland

Company site, and a mix of uses and buildings to integrate with the historic fabric of the area. Since that

time, the City has completed new zoning for the area, and a new Comprehensive Plan that sets a

framework for growth. Hear from City officials about how this work proceeded from planning, to action,

to partnership, and how the City continues to work to manage the impacts of development through

innovative strategies to manage mobility, parking and quality of life issues.

Jeff Levine, AICP, has been involved with land use and economic development planning on the local and

regional level for 20 years. In Portland, he has built a team that has led projects such as Portland’s Plan

2030; development of a form‐based code for the India Street neighborhood; creation of an inclusionary

housing ordinance and robust Housing Trust; and other changes to operations and local ordinances to

promote a sustainable city. Before coming to Portland, he was the Director of Planning & Community

Development for Brookline, MA, where he managed the completion of the townʹs award‐winning

Comprehensive Plan and a public realm plan for the Route 9 corridor into Boston. Previously, he worked

as the Director of Transportation & Long Range Planning for the City of Somerville, MA, and as a regional

planner for the Cape Cod Commission. A New England native, he has been involved in a number of land

use transformations, including the redevelopment of the Assembly Square district in Somerville; planning

for the introduction of a new light rail transit line in Somerville; and redevelopment of John Kennedy’s

boyhood church into a mixed‐income housing development in Brookline. Jeff has also been involved in

Metropolitan Planning Organizations in Boston, on Cape Cod, and in Portland. Jeff is an adjunct faculty

member at the Muskie School of Public Service, and was previously an adjunct at Tufts University, at the

University of Massachusetts at Amherst, and at the APA Planning Leadership Institute. He has a degree in

economic development planning from the University of Minnesota and an undergraduate degree from

Wesleyan University.

Greg Mitchell has over thirty‐five years of economic development work experience in public and private

sectors including non‐profit organizations located in South Florida and throughout Maine. He has been

the Economic Development Director for the City of Portland for ten years. His present work involves

business recruitment and retention, advocacy of business interests in City government, marketing, lead

negotiator with economic development projects and City real estate transactions. Greg has degrees in

business administration and economics from Norwich University and Florida Atlantic University.
