Canton’s City Planner Selected for 2022 GeorgiaForward Young Gamechangers Cohort

GeorgiaForward recently selected Canton City Planner Brittany Anderson as one of the 50 evolving professionals to serve the organization’s 2022 Young Gamechangers (YG) program. YG is a unique leadership action program hosted by GeorgiaForward, a nonprofit organization administrated by the Georgia Municipal Association. Young Gamechangers brings professionals from across the state to work on the persistent challenges of one Georgia community.

Anderson is an urban planning professional who began consulting with The Collaborative at the City of Sandy Springs first as a planning technician then planner and with Jacobs Engineering Group at the City of Chamblee as a senior planner before joining the City of Canton.

Last month, Dalton-Whitfield County hosted the YG. Dalton leaders came up with four challenge questions that the 2022 cohort were charged with answering during the six months they will spend developing specific, actionable recommendations for the community. These questions primarily pertained to redevelopment, education, and community engagement. The cohorts’ work will culminate with a community presentation of their findings and recommendations in late September.
