Meck Memorial Lecture | New Brunswick: The Last Seven Years and the Next Seven Years
Dan Dominguez, PP, AICP, MCRP ’14, is the Director of Policy and Development for the City of New Brunswick, NJ. He is originally from Newark, NJ, where he spent the first 32 years of his life before moving to New Brunswick. Dan’s parents came to the United States from Spain in the 1970s. Dan obtained his BA in Political Science from Rutgers Newark in 2010 and his MCRP from the Rutgers Bloustein School in 2014. He has been Director of Policy and Development (formerly Planning, Community and Economic Development) since 2019. As a Bloustein alum, Dan is excited to return to the Bloustein School and provide students with firsthand insight into development planning in New Brunswick.
In this lecture, Dan will discuss what it’s like to accidentally land your dream job, COVID-19’s impact on urban development, and other development highlights in New Brunswick over the past seven years. Then, a follow-up discussion on where he thinks the next seven years will take New Brunswick in terms of urban development.
