Chester County Commissioners Marian Moskowitz, Josh Maxwell, and Michelle Kichline have appointed David Stauffer as Director of Chester County’s Department of Parks and Preservation. Stauffer moves to this new role following 12 years as Capital Projects Coordinator within the county’s Department of Facilities.

As Director of Parks and Preservation for Chester County, Stauffer will lead the department in the strategic effort to preserve agricultural land, municipal parks, trails, greenways, and other land preservation projects, as well as manage the county’s seven parks and three trails.

His experience as Capital Projects Coordinator included management of the design, permitting, and construction of the county’s parks and regional trails capital improvements projects. Prior to joining the county, he served as a project manager with Simone Collins Landscape Architecture, Inc., where his responsibilities included open space, parks, recreation and trail planning, design, and development for municipal clients.

“David’s knowledge of Chester County’s parks, trails, and open space – and his immense understanding of the methods with which to expand and develop parks and preservation – is invaluable,” the commissioners said. “He has managed many projects and worked with many partners to develop our parks and trails, and this provides a great foundation to lead our Parks and Preservation Department.”

Stauffer, 44, takes over the Parks and Preservation Directorship from Brianne Zanin, who was recently appointed as Deputy Administrator for the county.

“We are proud of the quality of staff that we have within Chester County Government and are confident that both David and Brianne will undertake their new roles with professionalism and a thorough understanding of our county’s systems and goals,” the commissioners said.

Stauffer, a resident of East Brandywine Township, possesses a Bachelor of Landscape Architecture from Penn State.
