Marcia Tuck was recently named senior planner for the Greater Greenspoint District. Tuck is responsible for managing the District’s beautification programs, park operations at Wussow and CityView parks, and an open space master plan for Greenspoint. Other key areas of responsibility include the identification of recreational opportunities along the Greens Bayou corridor and the coordination of activities between public agencies and property owners. Tuck reports to Bart Baker, director of planning and infrastructure.

“Marcia has been with the District for three years, with a total of five years in the planning field,” Baker said. “Her experience with parks, natural resources and open space issues is helping us plan for future development.”

Tuck says her knowledge of public policy enhances the planning projects that move the District toward achieving goals. “The District has allowed me the opportunity to apply my prior experience to development projects and issues in the area,” said Tuck. “One of my main goals as senior planner is to continue progress with the Harris County Flood Control District on creating a 165-acre multi-use recreational facility that would not only reduce flooding, but provide a much-needed place for sports activities in the community,” she added.

Tuck was hired as a planning technician in 2004.
