Boston 2024 Planner Becomes Director of Imagine Boston 2030

Boston Mayor Marty Walsh named Sara Myerson as the city’s Executive Director of Imagine Boston 2030.

As Director of Imagine Boston 2030, Myerson will oversee the two-year public engagement process to create a roadmap for success leading up to Boston’s 400th birthday.

“Now is our chance to set the course for the next generation by creating a comprehensive plan for Boston, and Sara has shown that she will efficiently lead this multi-year effort,” said Mayor Walsh.

Myerson most recently served as Executive Director of the Office of Olympic Planning, where she helped develop the City of Boston’s plans and policy as the potential hosts for the 2024 Olympics and Paralympic Games.

“Over the next two years, we will look to integrate the range of ambitious planning efforts in existence or underway and engage the community in developing a cohesive strategic vision for preserving, enhancing and growing our neighborhoods in a way that promotes a more equitable, livable, sustainable and resilient Boston,” Myerson said in a statement.

A citywide plan will serve to implement the ideas set forth in those other plans and to offer additional ideas for the physical and economic development of Boston. Just as importantly, Imagine Boston will help Boston’s citizens articulate a shared vision for prosperity, innovation, education, health, equity, and arts and culture.”
