As City Manager, it is my pleasure to announce the recent hiring of our new Community Development Director for the City of Woodstock, Mr. Brantley Day. Mr. Day is filling the position vacated by Jessica Guinn, who left to become the Assistant City Manager for the City of Dunwoody. Brantley’s first day on the job was August 17th. We are excited about the professionalism, project management experience and expertise he brings to our community.
The Community Development Director is responsible for administering the zoning ordinance for the City of Woodstock. The director works closely with the city’s staff, planning commission and the mayor/council on all zoning applications. The director is also the point person for the city for implementing all approved land use and long-range plans. Planning, code enforcement, development services, building inspections and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) are all divisions of the Community Development Department, which report to the director on a daily basis.
Mr. Day most recently served as Director of Operations for the Cumberland Community Improvement District (CID), where he had management and oversight of a portfolio of projects valued at over $215 million dollars, many related to the new Braves stadium. Prior to his tenure at the CID, Day served as the Community Development Director for the City of Holly Springs, GA for six years. Day began his career as City Planner and later Community Development Director for the City of Riverdale, GA.
Mr. Day has received the American Institute for Certified Planners (AICP) designation from the American Planning Association. AICP certifies professionals in the United States in the field of urban and regional planning and assists planners in the areas of ethics, professional development, planning education, and the standards of planning practice. In addition, he holds a Master of Public Administration degree and a B.A. degree in Political Science from the University of Georgia.
Mr. Day and his family have been residents of Cherokee County for the past twelve years. He was selected from a field of twenty-six candidates. Having worked with Brantley a number of years ago in Riverdale, I know that he will be a good fit for our community.
