Molly Marcucilli

associate II

Climate Mitigation and Resiliency Planning Team

Molly earned her B.S. in Geographic Science from James Madison University in 2013. Shortly thereafter, she left the East Coast and moved to Aspen, Colorado, driven by her passion for nature and the outdoors. Captivated by Aspen's breathtaking landscapes and its progressive, pedestrian-friendly planning and transportation systems, Molly was inspired to delve deeper into the nexus of natural and built environments. This led her to Denver, where she pursued a Master's degree in Urban and Regional Planning at the University of Colorado Denver, honing her skills at the intersection of environmental stewardship and urban development.

After earning her master’s degree, Molly joined Boulder County's Long-Range Planning & Policy team, where she played a key role in updating the County's comprehensive plan and land use code. Her work focused on aligning land use policies with community values and sustainable development goals. Building upon this experience, Molly transitioned to the City of Denver's Community Planning & Development department. There, she enhanced her expertise in land use planning and zoning by conducting zoning reviews for commercial developments throughout Denver, ensuring projects met the city's regulatory standards.​

Molly is excited to bring her land use planning and policy expertise to the Lotus team, where she supports clients in achieving their climate, resiliency, and sustainability objectives through the implementation of innovative, tailored strategies and policies.
