Red Bank planning commission appointment: Blake Pierce nominated to replace departing member
Summary
Commissioners nominated Blake Pierce, founder of the White Oak Bicycle Co‑op, to fill a planning commission vacancy; the appointment was presented at the May 20 work session and the city emphasized the commission’s role in upcoming land‑use regulation revisions.
Commissioners proposed appointing Blake Pierce to the City of Red Bank’s planning commission during the May 20 work session after a member stepped down for work-related reasons. The outgoing appointee had been Commissioner Hayes Wilkins’ selection; Commissioner Wilkins told the commission he intended to nominate Pierce as the replacement.
Commissioner Wilkins described Pierce as “founder and president of the White Oak Bicycle Co‑op,” a longtime Red Bank resident and someone with experience in exercise science and public health, including work as an exercise physiologist at Children’s Hospital at Erlanger. Commissioners said Pierce’s experience and local involvement make him well-suited to help with an upcoming revision of the city’s land-use regulations.
The appointment was presented for consideration during the work session; no formal vote was recorded in the transcript.
