The city of Coeur d’Alene is pleased to announce the selection of Hilary Anderson as its new community planning director. Anderson, currently the planning and economic development manager for the city of Post Falls, will assume her new position on November 24.

For the past three years Hilary has performed professional and advanced planning work involving the administration, advanced research and analysis, and presentation of information and recommendations of long-range planning and economic development issues in Post Falls.

“We are thrilled to welcome Hilary to our staff. Her experience and knowledge of local planning issues, as well as her proven leadership, will be a great asset to our talented and devoted planning staff,” said Coeur d’Alene Mayor Steve Widmyer.

Anderson fills the position vacated by former Coeur d’Alene planning director Dave Yadon, who retired in September 2013 after 39 years of service to the city.
