Using planning & zoning tools to work towards vibrant, equitable, and climate-resilient communities

She is passionate about equitably preparing communities for the effects of climate change, earning a Certificate in Natural Hazards Resilience and completing a master’s project focused on climate adaptation planning in Milwaukee, WI and Denver, CO. Before Clarion, Jasmine sharpened her data analysis skills at the National Bureau of Economic Research and at Metro Transit in Minneapolis, MN. She now uses these skills to provide clients with the best possible information to guide their planning efforts. Contact Jasmine at jdavidson@clarionassociates.com.
