PORTLAND — The City Council last week named Christine Grimando the city’s director of planning and urban development

City Manager Jon Jennings told councilors Grimando is “highly knowledgeable.”
Councilor Spencer Thibodeau told Grimando he is “excited to see the things you do in this role.”
Councilor Belinda Ray said Grimando was one of the people integral in the adoption of Portland’s Plan 2030, the city’s updated comprehensive plan, which won Maine Association of Planner’s 2019 plan of the year.
Grimando will make $112,983 in her new role.
