Raphael J. Kasen, AICP
Senior Planner
Raphael comes to McKenna by way of sunny New Jersey, where he worked for over a decade on community development and housing-related issues. He specializes in solving acute planning problems often involving multiple groups of stakeholders. He believes that every moment is an opportunity to “make a new plan”. He brings to McKenna a background in planning and zoning administration, affordable housing, community and neighborhood revitalization planning, and historic preservation.
He holds a Master of City and Regional Planning degree from the Edward J. Bloustein School of Planning and Public Policy at Rutgers University.
“The best part of my job is being able to work directly with communities to help them solve problems.”
