As Director of Planning and Building, Best will lead the Development and Policy Planning areas as well as the Building Standards division.

Best’s acceptance of this position has filled a vacancy due to the former Director of Planning and Building, Bruce Hoppe, advancing to the position of General Manager of Infrastructure and Development for the town.
