SAN ANGELO, TX — Aaron Vannoy, former Planning and Development Administrator for the City of San Angelo, was promoted to Assistant Director of Planning & Development on Sept. 16, 2019. He had served in his previous role since October 2017.

Vannoy’s primary role will include assisting applicants in the development process, troubleshooting issues and complaints, recommending improvements to the development process, and serving as the primary point of contact for applicants. He will also help develop departmental goals, assist with the budget, review policies and fill in for the director as needed.

Prior to joining the City, Vannoy spent 10 years in Abilene managing nonprofits such as the Big Country, YMCA, Boys & Girls Clubs and American Red Cross.
