Lakey Broderius Boyd, AICP, CEcD
Principal

Lakey has established a distinct niche in the planning community by successfully translating the complexities of economics and development into practical, easy-to-understand planning solutions. In a field characterized by spreadsheets and graphs, Lakey translates this information into innovative and implementable tools and solutions. Lakey works with public sector clients and private sector clients, from public policy to actual physical developments. It is this necessary and healthy balance that allows Lakey to provide real and feasible solutions and plans.

What makes Lakey so unique is her holistic and comprehensive approach to understanding market dynamics. While the typical economic analysis will focus on trends and projections, Lakey sees the third dimension of planning which allows her to reach a much more accurate conclusion as to the direction of any community - from local to regional to state levels.

By having both a professional certification from the American Institute of Certified Planners as well as the Certified Economic Developer designation from the International Economic Development Council, Lakey is uniquely positioned to provide an economic expertise in ways that accomplish a comprehensive community vision and plan.

Lakey earned her Masters of City Planning from Georgia Tech, with a dual specialization in both Economic Development and Land Development, as well as a graduate certificate in Real Estate from Georgia State University. She received her Bachelor of Science in Urban Studies from Georgia State University.
