The City of Topeka has hired a new Director of Development and Economic Growth, a position that is the first of its kind in the capital city. Filling this position is Rhiannon Friedman who previously has been serving as the President of Downtown Topeka, Inc. She will be transitioning to her new role later this year on an as yet undetermined date. The position will be housed within the City’s Planning and Development Department. It will aim to make Topeka more development efficient with equity at the core. Friedman will focus on affordable housing expansion, incentive packages available to builders and developers as well as increased communication in these areas.
