The Miami Township Board of Trustees passed a resolution Tuesday evening naming Community Development Director Christopher Snyder the assistant township administrator. He will continue his current role managing the Community Development Department while taking on new responsibilities alongside Administrator Ronald L. Hess. The board says this resolution furthers its efforts to maintain strong administrative leadership into the future.
“Chris has led his team assisting in the development of more than $200 million in new construction in the township over the past five years. His dedication to this community has resulted in the creation and retention of thousands of jobs,” Trustee President John Morris said. “With the growth opportunities envisioned in this new role, we are recognizing our opportunities for internal advancement and creating avenues for future leadership.”
“I look forward to working with Chris in developing his experience with the administrative side of township business. He already excels at developing community projects, and I’m certain he will do the same in an expanded role,” Township Administrator Ronald L. Hess said.
Snyder is a 20-year employee of the township having served as director of community development since 2014. He is certified through the American Planning Association and serves on several joint economic development boards. He is also a trustee on the board of the Community Foundation of Miami Township. He is committed to maintaining and developing a livable community.
Snyder holds a bachelor’s degree in economics and a master’s in urban and regional planning from the University of Iowa. He was named the 2020 Economic Development Employee of the Year by the Montgomery County Township Association. Snyder and his wife, Julie, have two children.
