BSC Group is pleased to welcome Tabitha Wilson, AICP, LEED AP, as Senior Planner.
Tabitha is an AICP-certified planner with over 17 years of combined public-sector experience, with expertise in Connecticut, Massachusetts, and Rhode Island regulations. Her background spans visual communication, construction management, land use planning, and community organizing, which she leverages to manage and enhance community spaces.
Tabitha’s experience includes leading municipal and state planning initiatives involving land use and zoning, development review, capital and infrastructure planning, parks and public realm projects, community engagement, and coordination with boards, elected officials, and state agencies. She has also managed multidisciplinary teams, budgets, and regulatory compliance for complex projects, advanced climate resilience and sustainability initiatives, and secured and administered state and federal funding to move plans into implementation.
Notable experience includes leading complex, high-visibility public-sector projects such as waterfront redevelopment planning in Cape Cod, New Bedford, MA, and Mystic, CT, statewide resilience and climate initiatives, and major capital planning and park construction efforts including sports arenas, school campuses, and brownfield reuse. She is comfortable with MA, CT, and RI regulations, with voluntary service on the New Bedford Historic Commission and the Westerly, RI Planning Board, and has served as staff to multiple boards and commissions in New Bedford and Groton, CT.
Tabitha holds a Master of Landscape Architecture from California State Polytechnic University, Pomona (Summa Cum Laude) and a B.A. in Graphic Arts/Painting from the University of Hartford (Magna Cum Laude). She is a Certified Planner (AICP) and a LEED Accredited Professional (LEED AP).
“I find BSC inspiring for its inclusive culture and its holistic approach to design thinking — integrating planning, landscape architecture, engineering, and community voices to create thoughtful, durable solutions. I’m excited to contribute my public-sector experience to a firm that values collaboration, equity, and design excellence.”
Outside of work, Tabitha is part of the leadership team for the Rhode Island Chapter of the New England Mountain Bike Association (RINEMBA), where she leads inclusive rides and clinics for women and LGBTQ+ individuals and helps build trails through grant writing, fundraising, and community partnerships. She also freelances as a painter, graphic artist, and landscape designer.
