<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-size:14.0pt;color:red">Licking County Planning Commission (LCPC)(Ohio) is seeking candidates for the position of Planning Director. </span></b><span style="font-size:14.0pt"> In addition to leadership of the Planning
Department, the successful candidate will be the Executive Director of Licking County Area Transportation Study (LCATS, a federally recognized regional MPO), serve as the county (and several villages’) floodplain administrator and subdivision administrator.
The Director may also serve as the Development Director through a memorandum of agreement between LCPC and the Licking County Board of Commissioners and thus have oversight of the Community Development Department.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt">Licking County is located in the fast growing Columbus Ohio Metro and is one of six counties bordering the State Capitol and Franklin County. It is a county of 170,000 and growing and is the third largest
‘land area’ county in Ohio. Licking County has a strong economy based on traditional manufacturing, the tech industry and agriculture which remains strong and is diversifying. The traditional industry includes Owens Corning Fiberglas with both their Research
and Development Center in Granville and major manufacturing plant in Newark and other industries, large and small, in several industrial parks.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt">Recently, the community has gained a major Amazon Distribution Center in Etna Township and an Amazon data center in New Albany, and in recent weeks Facebook announced similar data center plans in western Licking
County. Licking County benefits from having access to abundant and redundant electricity from the grid of American Electric Power and the regional electric supplier, the Energy Cooperative. The reshoring of businesses back to the United States is also found
in this county.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt">The Licking County Seat is the centrally located City of Newark; and Newark is joined by the cities of Heath, Pataskala and parts of New Albany and Reynoldsburg. Villages include Granville (home to Denison
University), Johnstown, Utica, Hartford, Buckeye Lake, Saint Louisville, Alexandria, Gratiot, Hebron, Kirkersville and Hanover. Newark is also the home of the Central Ohio Technical College and the Newark regional campus of the Ohio State University.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt">Among the challenges in the next decade is projected growth to 200,000 as part of the expanding Columbus Metro, which is the growth engine of Ohio. Transportation, utilities and public infrastructure remain
projects to be coordinated with various other jurisdictions including at the state and federal level.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt">Licking County is seeking a certified and qualified leader, planner and manager who can discern, demonstrate sound judgment and extend the community’s plans to protect the past and better the future while
balancing the interests and needs of a diverse population, business and residential interests.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

looking to become an integral part of this growing and attractive community. Finally, we believe this Planning Directorship is a desirable career opportunity and we look forward to hearing from qualified candidates.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
