Yolanda Bouchée is a Community-Centered Development Strategist, Professor, Designer, and Founding Principal of Revitalized Communities. She has an MBA in Finance and Program Management with a Real Estate Focus.
She specializes in helping municipalities, regional planning agencies, and development partners align projects with community priorities to produce more equitable and sustainable outcomes.
She is the creator of the ALIGN Framework—a structured predevelopment process. Through this approach, Yolanda helps communities move beyond traditional engagement toward true partnership models that reduce conflict, strengthen trust, and improve long-term project success.
With a background in Environmental Redevelopment, Historic Preservation, Community Involvement and Finance, Yolanda’s work focuses on transforming underutilized spaces into thriving, community-driven assets.
Revitalized Communities operates through a collaborative model, bringing together specialized partners based on the needs of each project.
Rather than relying on a fixed internal team, we assemble expertise across planning, environmental consulting, engineering, economic development, and community engagement.
This approach allows us to remain flexible, strategic, and responsive, ensuring that each project is supported by the right expertise at the right time.
