Based in HR&A’s New York office, Dominic blends policy and market research, data analysis, and stakeholder engagement to deeply understand the challenges clients face and find the best ways to achieve their goals. Dominic has supported transit-oriented and other real estate strategies for governments at the local, regional, and statewide levels across the United States. For example, he was an analytical lead for NJ TRANSIT’s LAND Plan, which quantified the agency’s opportunity to build up to 20,000 new homes near transit statewide. He has also created funding and other implementation strategies for multimodal transportation infrastructure projects, including regional trail networks in Arkansas and Georgia, and the redevelopment of transit hubs like New York Penn Station, Chicago Union Station, and San Jose Diridon Station.

Dominic is also deeply invested in supporting Chinatowns, including supporting the $20 million Strategic Investment Plan for Manhattan’s Chinatown through New York State’s Downtown Revitalization Initiative, He also co-facilitated the Second North American Chinatown Solidarity Conference, a gathering of leaders from 21 Chinatowns across the United States and Canada.

Prior to HR&A, Dominic supported market analyses for private and non-profit clients at another consultancy, was the lead author of a white paper on the equity effects of New York City’s Covid-19 outdoor dining policy at New York University, and was a commercial litigation paralegal at a law firm specializing in real estate disputes. Dominic volunteers with Welcome to Chinatown, a nonprofit supporting Manhattan Chinatown’s small businesses.

Dominic holds a Bachelor of Arts in Economics from Swarthmore College and a Master of Urban Planning from New York University’s Wagner School of Public Service. For his capstone project at New York University, Dominic led a team of graduate students in creating the Greenway Connectivity Plan on behalf of the City of Jersey City. The plan recommends 16 new or upgraded pedestrian and cyclist paths that will transform Jersey City’s separate greenways into a citywide active transportation network. The plan also laid a foundation for a subsequent feasibility study to convert the Bergen Arches (a disused sunken railway) into a new urban trail.
