Michelle Tinger
Assistant Director of Environmental Planning
Michelle joined SRPEDD in November 2023 where she provides technical assistance on greenhouse gas reduction, climate adaptation strategies, floodplain management, open space planning, zoning bylaw updates, and brownfields cleanups. She particularly enjoys using data-driven, place-based strategies to balance community development with environmental conservation.
She supports Southeastern Massachusetts communities with projects focused on flood management, greenhouse gas reduction, pollution mitigation, open space and recreation planning, and brownfields cleanup.
Michelle holds an MS in Urban Planning and Community Development from UMass Boston and a BA in Environmental Studies from Binghamton University. She is grateful for the opportunity to support projects that reflect regional ecological systems, promote stewardship, and meet local needs.
