Mayor Leirion Gaylor Baird on Wednesday announced she intends to appoint Peter Hind of Lincoln as the next Urban Development Director for the City. Hind is manager of the Lincoln Architecture Group at Schemmer Associates Inc., an architecture, engineering and construction field services consulting firm.
Hind has more than 23 years of experience in residential, commercial, multi-family and healthcare design. If approved by the Lincoln City Council, he will start in September. Hind would replace Dan Marvin, who served as Urban Development Director from 2019 until he retired this month.
“ I am truly honored to be given this opportunity to serve the people of the city of Lincoln. I’m excited to work with the Urban Development Department team, the Mayor’s office, and the various constituents and stakeholders to help make Lincoln an even more vibrant, sustainable, and beautiful city,” Hind says.
The Urban Development Department manages Lincoln’s share of federal Community Development Block Grant funds, serves as the City’s Redevelopment Authority, coordinates acquisition of Right of Way and sales of City property and manages public parking resources.
