Anya Tipton, Interim Executive Director
Anya Tipton brings a strong background in community planning and revitalization to the Clinton County Regional Planning Commission, having recently joined the team as a Planner. Originally from New Orleans, Anya holds a Bachelor’s degree in Urban Studies from Rhodes College (2018) and a Master’s in Urban Planning at Wayne State University (2024).
Throughout her undergraduate career, Anya conducted extensive research aimed at revitalizing Memphis communities. She dedicated her work to the redevelopment of the Crosstown Concourse, formerly an abandoned Sears distribution center, producing over 200 pages of analysis. Her research explored the social, economic, and cultural impacts of this development for both long-time residents and newcomers.
As a graduate student, Anya worked independently and in collaboration on several strategic neighborhood plans in Detroit, including Greater Warren-Conner, McDougall-Hunt, and the famous 8 Mile Boulevard corridor. Her specialization in Housing and Community Development has equipped her with the skills and perspective to address Clinton County’s unique needs. Anya’s work also extended to community outreach and sustainable development in climate-sensitive regions.
Most recently, Anya served as a GIS Associate with Eastern Market, the nation’s largest historic public farmers market, located in Detroit. At Eastern Market, Anya led a real estate mapping project, conducting detailed analysis of thousands of properties. This project supported strategic decision-making for land acquisition, directly impacting Eastern Market’s growth and future planning.
Anya is excited to apply her strong educational background and passion for placemaking in Clinton County, getting to know its residents, and contributing to the vibrant community that makes it so unique.
