We are thrilled to welcome Josie Stiver to the Planning NEXT team as our newest planner! 

Josie brings a dynamic blend of enthusiasm, forward-thinking, and an ability to engage deeply with communities. In her time at Planning NEXT, she has already contributed to several projects, including PLAN Carbondale, a comprehensive plan for Carbondale, Illinois; Imagine Swarthmore, a comprehensive plan for Swarthmore, Pennsylvania; and Centerville Forward, a comprehensive plan for Centerville, Ohio. Her desire to create more equitable, sustainable, and connected communities shines through in everything she does. 

Josie recently graduated with a Bachelor of Science in City and Regional Planning from The Ohio State University. During her time in school, she developed a passion for community engagement, climate migration, multimodal transit, and equitable land use. Now, she can further explore those interests and use her skills as a natural communicator and big-picture thinker to support the Planning NEXT team in helping communities grow stronger and more resilient. 

We’re excited to see how Josie’s talents will help shape the future of our projects, clients, and team. Welcome aboard, Josie!
