Background

About Eric Cousens

Dedicated planner and economic development professional who cares about the preservation of our great city, and for the environment we have grown up in. Advocate for density at urban centers to allow people to live with people, in varied housing types, where services and infrastructure can be provided and shared efficiently. My interests are broad, my skillset is adaptable and I like to get stuff done. I advocate for outcomes but accept decisions in planning processes and implement them with ownership. I am aware of my role in a good process and frame my efforts to achieve desired outcomes within organizational, ethical and legal boundaries of the situation. In my career I have been fortunate to have the opportunity to work on many different projects and with people of all walks of life. I employ thoughtful empathy in all interactions and take great satisfaction in improving challenging situations through listening, sharing information and finding common goals.
