Will Evans

Co-founder and President

Picture
Will grew up in Atlanta, Georgia and relocated to California in 2009.  He possesses a BS in urban policy studies, as well as a Master of Public Administration (MPA) from Georgia State University, where his studies focused on economic development planning and geographic information science (GIS).  Will spent nearly a decade employed in various resource management positions with the County of Lake including Deputy Director of Water Resources, Associate Resource Planner in the Community Development Department,  and Compliance Coordinator for Special Districts Administration.

Over the course of his career, Will has worked on projects in a variety of areas including drinking water, wastewater, flood control, post-fire debris flow mitigation, stormwater management, geothermal resource management, geographic information systems, trail development, surface mining reclamation, current and long-range municipal planning, grant writing, and downtown redevelopment.

​Recently, Will worked with the Middle Creek Restoration Coalition (MCRC) and Assemblywoman Cecelia Aguiar-Curry to secure $15 Million to complete property purchases for the Middle Creek Flood Damage Reduction and Ecosystem Restoration Project.

​Will helped establish CLERC as a way to increase the amount of scientific research being conducted on Clear Lake and using that research as a vehicle to promote economic development in the local community.
