body
PURPOSE: I am pleased to announce the appointment of Ms. Brandy Driggers as Neighborhood Services Division Manager in the Planning, Environmental, and Development Services Department. The Neighborhood Services Division supports efforts to improve Orange County’s neighborhoods and promotes community development by encouraging code compliance, providing grant funding, hosting public education forums, and engaging in collaborative neighborhood planning.
The division is comprised of four work units: Code Compliance, Community Development and Outreach, Neighborhood Planning, and Administrative Support. Ms. Driggers’ extensive experience with community engagement through her involvement in Orange Code and her deep knowledge of the County’s Land Development Regulations will greatly benefit the division.
Ms. Driggers has dedicated more than 20 years to Orange County, beginning her career as an unpaid intern in the Housing and Community Development Division. Over the course of 14 years, she honed her knowledge, skills, and abilities while serving in several key roles: Planner III in the Planning Division, Development Services Administrator in the Fiscal and Operational Support Division, and most recently as Assistant Zoning Manager in the Zoning Division, where she served for the past six years. In this current role, she supports the Division Manager in overseeing day-to-day operations, including managing the $4 million zoning budget, coordinating advisory
boards, developing operational policies, addressing constituent concerns, monitoring agreements, providing staff guidance, overseeing tree related issues, and supporting implementation of the department’s Strategic Management Plan.
Ms. Driggers holds a bachelor’s and master’s degrees in public administration from the University of Central Florida, with a concentration in Urban and Regional Planning. She is also a recent 2024 graduate of Orange County’s Mayor’s Executive Leadership Program.
Ms. Driggers’ natural ability to lead with compassion and dedication combined with her analytical and problem-solving skills continues to be an asset to the organization. Contingent upon confirmation by the Board, this appointment will become effective for the first full pay period following board approval, at a starting annual salary of $148,616. Her resume is attached for your review.
