George Franck, Planner

A native of Philadelphia, George has earned a Bachelor’s Degree in City Planning from the University of Virginia and a Master’s Degree in Urban Planning from San Diego State University.

George is an informal student of architectural history who volunteers for projects at North Park Main Street.
