BURLINGTON, ON

That didn’t take very long.

Breaking News – Bill Jannsen a retired planner from the City of Hamilton has been hired by the City of Burlington as its Interim Direct of Planning.

The interim Director of Planning can now experience the joys of crossing the Skyway bridge each morning.

At one point Janssen was the Hamilton Director of the Open for Business program. His most recent position with Hamilton appears to have been as Acting Director, Strategic Services/Special Projects at City Of Hamilton.

A copy of the Draft Official Plan will be on the desk of the interim city planner.

Not much on the man – which is unusual for people in the municipal sector.

Mary Lou Tanner, who becomes the Deputy City Manager on the 2st, today, will turn things over to Jannsen.

Tanner at one time worked for the city of Hamilton.
