The Palm Beach County Planning, Zoning and Building Department recently welcomed their new deputy director, Cindy Hoskin.
Hoskin spent the last seven years with Miami-Dade County as Planning and Zoning's development manager and legislative supervisor, and Code Compliance's legal unit supervisor. She established and managed the legal unit supporting code compliance, legislation, building/permitting, contractor services, and lien Implementation. Some of the legislation she was responsible for were in the areas of code enforcement, agritourism and agricultural preservation, commercial truck parking, accessory dwelling units, and workforce housing development.
Prior to working in the public sector, she had a successful land development and construction consulting business serving as an owner's representative and project manager for small and large developers throughout Florida for nearly 20 years.
