After seven years as director of AMATS, Jason Segedy will be leaving this position in January.  Akron Mayor-elect Daniel Horrigan announced in early December that Segedy will be the city’s new planning director.

Segedy became AMATS director in 2008 and has been with the agency since 1998.  During his tenure as agency director, AMATS focused its efforts on increasing funding for road and bridge preservation, pursuing “Complete Streets” planning principles, and advocating better urban design to focus more on people than cars.

“Although it is never easy to leave a job one loves, the knowledge that our region – by working together – has been making great and steady progress towards becoming a better connected, cohesive and equitable place, makes it easier to say ‘goodbye’ to our wonderful organization and its members,” Segedy said.

Curtis Baker, current AMATS planning administrator, will replace Segedy as interim director beginning Jan. 4.  Baker has been with AMATS for over nine years and holds a bachelor’s degree in organizational leadership from Miami University and a master’s of city and regional planning from The Ohio State University.
