Division of Planning and Environmental Management (DPEM)
Commissioner Aragon has been the catalyst for a renewed focus on Main Street Development as a tool to redirect the County’s Community and Economic Development toward Main Streets in an effort to heal the County’s economy main street by main street, village by village, town by town, while preserving and respecting our natural resources from seasonal streams to watersheds.
Mr. Aragon joined the Sullivan County team in 2009, bringing with him over 20 years of government experience in New York City. He served New York City under four Mayors in various capacities in the Department of Parks and Recreation, Department of Transportation, and the Department of Housing Preservation and Development. Most recently, he served as the Deputy Commissioner of Preservation Services under Commissioner Donovan, now HUD Secretary.
His experience encompasses architecture, planning, community development, grant administration, operations, education, enforcement, litigation, and preservation.
Commissioner Aragon holds a bachelors degree in Architecture from Pratt Institute and a Masters in Business and Administration from Baruch College in New York City. |
