Notable Experience
With three decade’s experience in land use consulting, both as a land planner and as an attorney, Roy Brewer’s achievements include negotiating the Aerojet Special Planning Area zoning ordinance, creating a land use protocol for a 12,500 acre Superfund site, and serving as land use counsel for ski resort projects at Squaw Valley and Mammoth Mountain.
