Please join us in congratulating Scott Orr, the new director of Permit Sonoma!   Scott has spent nearly a decade with the department, starting as an entry-level planner and working his way up to assistant director. He has served as interim director since July, when longtime leader Tennis Wick announced his retirement.   With deep experience in local planning and permitting, Scott has played a key role in many of the major projects shaping Sonoma County’s future. He was recently elected vice president of the California County Planning Directors Association, a testament to the respect Scott has earned from peers throughout the state. His career journey reflects the County of Sonoma’s commitment to creating opportunities for growth and leadership in public service – proof that there’s truly room to move and room to grow at the County.   “Scott has the knowledge and the temperament to lead Permit Sonoma into the future,” said County Executive M. Christina Rivera. “He is deeply familiar with the nuances of the planning and permitting world, and he knows all of the major projects that Permit Sonoma has undertaken.”   Permit Sonoma guides how and where Sonoma County grows — reviewing, permitting and inspecting land development and construction projects in the unincorporated areas. It upholds standards that lead to responsible growth while protecting the people and natural resources of our county.
