Matt Bucchin, AICP, LEED Green Associate, brings more than 15 years of public sector experience, including the past seven years focusing primarily on community and development planning, citizen participation and the public use and protection of natural resources.  Before joining KKC, Matt led the planning division for a fast-growing county in metropolitan Atlanta.  During his tenure, he gained extensive experience in drafting code that reflected good planning principles, while at the same time being sensitive to local political culture and imperatives.  In addition to his substantive and leadership responsibilities at the county, Matt was a contributing author to the American Planning Association’s Rebuilding America Green Infrastructure Sub-Task Force Report.  The report evaluated current conditions and challenges, and identified recommendations for changes in policy and practice regarding green infrastructure.
