San Francisco is taking important steps to better align its planning, permitting, and economic development functions, creating a more efficient, predictable, and forward-looking environment for investment and growth.
This panel will bring together three of the City’s key leaders:
- Sarah Dennis Phillips, Planning Director, San Francisco Planning Department
- Bridget Hicks, PermitSF, San Francisco Planning Department
- Leigh Lutenski, Director of Development, Office of Economic and Workforce Development
They will share how their agencies are working in partnership to modernize processes, increase transparency, and balance economic vitality with community priorities. Attendees will gain insights into current initiatives, policy goals, and the collaborative strategies shaping San Francisco’s development landscape.
