MEET BLAIR ISRAEL
Senior Planner
The Town of Waxhaw would like to introduce the community to
Blair Israel, Senior Planner. As a certified planner and licensed
landscape architect with over 30 years of experience, Blair
brings a variety of skills to this job to fill numerous niches.
Blair began his time in Waxhaw as an Interim Planner under
contract. After less than a year, he was brought on full-time by
the town as Senior Planner in 2019. Currently, he is leading
the Waxhaw Planning Department’s outreach efforts that are
focused on gathering input from local residents on guiding
Waxhaw’s growth.
“People often underestimate the influence they could have in
the planning process if they attend meetings, participate in online surveys, and talk directly to their
local elected officials,” Blair said of the public input process.
Blair is excited to be in charge of the community input efforts for the town. He looks forward to
“working directly with the public and getting the input that the town needs to help direct its own
growth.” If you would like to provide your own input, please fill out the Waxhaw Growth Public Input
survey at www.tinyurl.com/growthpublicinput.
You can meet Blair at the Waxhaw Public Input Meeting on October 24th at the Niven Price Building
(216 West North Main Street, Downtown Waxhaw, NC) from 5:30-7:30 PM.
