PROVIDENCE – The executive director of the I-195 Redevelopment District Commission announced Friday she will leave her position and return to the private sector.
In a short statement, Jan Brodie did not disclose whether she had a new position.
In her statement, released through a commission spokeswoman, Brodie said with new incentives for development now in place, the area is “ready to move into a new and exciting phase. I am proud of the work we have done and now armed with new incentives that will act as vital catalysts, the commission now has the tools to move forward with the next phase of development.”
Brodie has served as the administrative head of the commission for two years.
Chairman Joseph F. Azrack said she will remain on the job for one more month to help with a transition. “Her skills, expertise and knowledge have been invaluable,” he said.
This week, the city established a new two-tiered set of development incentives for the I-195 lands, which will create tax incentives for developers who seek to develop at least $10 million projects in the district. The most significant tax stabilization agreements will be reserved for those projects of at least $50 million.
Brodie was a former vice-president of the Armory Revival Co. in Providence from 2003 to 2008, and has an MBA and a degree in architecture from the University of Pennsylvania.
