ST. PAUL-Blair Tremere, a member of the Golden Valley city council and a former planning official for several local communities, has been named director of community development for the Metropolitan Council. The appointment was announced by Tom Weaver, regional administrator of the Met Council, who says Tremere has a “wealth of experience in planning and public administration at the local and state levels.”

As community development director, Tremere will oversee the council’s programs and staff in the areas of planning, research, housing, and regional parks and open space. Tremere has served on the council’s land use advisory committee and as chair of its livable communities advisory committee. The latter group screens applications and makes recommendations for about $14 million a year in grants to local communities to help clean up contaminated lands, expand the supply of affordable housing and encourage development that links housing, jobs and services.
