Jeff Rader - A Career in Community Service

Taking a key role in solving some of the most pressing public policy problems in our region, Jeff Rader has made a career of helping to keep our community the envy of the nation.

After growing up in suburban Roswell in the 1970s, a degree in Economics from the University of Georgia, and a tour in the U.S. Navy, Jeff became an early part of the movement back to the city. In the process of renovating a rambling old house in Midtown and navigating the Byzantine regulatory process, he became fascinated in the science of building communities. Enrolling in the graduate program in City Planning at Georgia Tech, Jeff focused on urban redevelopment and transportation.
