I am pleased to announce that Victor Sinadinoski will
be joining the planning team as Milton's next development review Town
Planner. Victor will be attending tonight's Development Review Board
meeting, and his first day in the office will be Monday, August 28.
Among the many applicants, Victor was a standout for his
education and experience -- but especially for his calm, considerate,
professional, and down-to-earth approach that came through during the interview
process and reference checks.
Victor joins us from Middlebury's Planning and Zoning
Department, where he served as the Assistant Zoning Administrator and
Development Review Coordinator. He has additional planning experience
working for the Southern New Hampshire Planning Commission, where he focused on
land use, housing, transportation, and environmental planning projects.
Outside his planning office work, Victor brings a depth of experience around
food systems and working lands: teaching, farming, and farmers' market
retailing. Victor has also authored several books on Macedonian history
and culture; his background teaching, researching, and writing strongly aligns
with the work of a professional planner.
As a native of the Buckeye State, I didn't hold it against
him that he attended the University of Michigan, where he earned a Bachelor of
Science in Anthropology-Zoology. Victor
landed in Vermont's South Royalton via the Vermont Law School, from which he
also holds his Juris Doctor and Master of Environmental Law and Policy.
I am confident that Victor is ready for the exciting work
ahead, and I hope you will join me supporting his success.
Jacob Hemmerick, Planning Director
