Ian Michael W.
Rogers
Atlanta, Georgia
I am a recent graduate of Georgia State University College of Law and the the Georgia Institute of Technology Master of City and Planning program. I have passed the Georgia State Bar and have recently been sworn in.
My post-graduate studies and recent work with the Atlanta BeltLine, GreenLaw, and the Atlanta Regional Commission involved substantive engagement with Metro-Atlanta issues such as comprehensive planning, updating zoning ordinances and environmental law, including brownfields and water quality standards. I am excited about the opportunity to use my education and experience in history, law, and planning to help shape a sustainable and equitable future for all who call Metro-Atlanta home.
