The City of Bloomington has named Aarica Coleman as Bloomington's upcoming Housing and Redevelopment Authority (HRA) director, according to a city press release.
Coleman rose from a group of candidates as the one best suited to handle the task at hand, according to the press release. This position is an important opportunity amid a time when citizens need someone strong.
Coleman got her start in Minneapolis, where she toiled as a senior project coordinator in community planning and economic development. She also worked in Hennepin County, serving as a property manager specialist.
She has served the community in many different ways.
“The HRA has an important dual function in Bloomington, serving the present-day needs for housing by individuals and the future revitalization of the entire community through redevelopment,” Bloomington City Manager Jamie Verbrugge said in a press release. “Aarica will bring a unique blend of professional experiences combined with tremendous leadership and people skills to continue moving the HRA forward.”
