Jason Moody enjoys working as part of multi-disciplinary efforts to produce plans, policies, and programs that advance urban development and revitalization. His practice focuses on projects where there is a clear nexus between public and private objectives and where consideration of economic impacts, market feasibility, and financing is critical to success.
Jason’s recent assignments have focused on repositioning languishing commercial properties, such as regional malls, as well as larger areas such as downtowns or corridors, into more successful and vibrant mixed-use districts. This work includes planning and entitlement efforts for malls in Westminster, Pleasanton, San Bruno, and San Leandro, as well as post-covid downtown investment efforts in St. Helena, Redwood City, Tustin, Orinda, and San Francisco.
Prior to joining EPS in 1996, Mr. Moody worked as a journalist in Washington, DC covering national legislative issues as well as an analyst for the Port Authority of New York / Jersey and later for the San Francisco Budget Office. He received a Master’s in Public Policy (MPP) from the University of California’s Goldman School in 1995 and BA in economics from UC Santa Cruz in 1988. In his spare time Jason enjoys playing tennis and exploring urban and natural environments.
