Anne Krieg to be Named New Director of Development for the City of Bangor
BANGOR, MAINE – The City of Bangor is pleased to announce that Anne Krieg will assume the position of Director of Development. Krieg joined the City in May of 2019 as a Planner and become our Planning Officer later that same year. In her current role, she has demonstrated skills in community outreach and engagement, problem solving, and collaboration, all of which will be invaluable in her new role. As Director of Development, Krieg will lead the support, development, retention and implementation of business and economic growth within the City.
Krieg has extensive experience in local government including planning, and economic and community development. She has served in various positions throughout her twenty-plus year municipal career, including Director of Planning, Economic and Community Development in Bridgton, Maine and Planning and Development Director/Public Information Officer in Bar Harbor, Maine.
Since joining the City, Anne has made significant contributions to our community. Her more public efforts have included zoning and land use planning, implementing Affordable Housing Work Group recommendations, leading our comprehensive plan update, as well as spearheading our Livable Communities and Climate Action Plan initiatives. Behind the scenes, she has cultivated significant relationships to garner and advance public feedback, researched options for redevelopment of the Bangor Mall area, been an active participant in our efforts to streamline the development process, supported the data development and discussions on short-term rentals, and enhanced our ability to communicate information in a more accessible manner. We look forward to her continued commitment and efforts in furthering Bangor’s interests.
According to City Manager Debbie Laurie, “Anne has a wealth of knowledge and experience in working with community stakeholders to identify strengths, weaknesses and opportunities. Her passion and dedication to our community is evident in all her work.” In response, Anne stated “I am excited to lead our team as we implement significant development strategies that will benefit our businesses, residents, employers, and visitors alike.”
