About Levi Taylor

Hello! My name is Levi Taylor, and I am interested in advancing economic and community development through strategic investment, policy, and cross-sector collaboration. I am particularly focused on how institutions can strengthen local economies, expand access to opportunity, and support sustainable, place-based growth.My experience sits at the intersection of community development, public policy, and institutional strategy. In my current role as a Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) and Fair Lending Analyst at Horizon Bank, I analyze lending and demographic data to support community investment efforts and ensure alignment with federal regulatory frameworks. My work contributes to how financial institutions engage with and invest in the communities they serve.Previously, at Thomas P. Miller & Associates, I supported cities, counties, nonprofits, and state agencies on economic and community development initiatives, including housing, workforce development, and public program strategy. My work involved policy research, stakeholder engagement, and translating complex challenges into actionable strategies for local communities.My academic background in political science and national security focused on international development, markets, and economic diversification, which continues to inform my approach to domestic economic and community development.I am driven by work that connects strategy to implementation and delivers measurable outcomes for communities, with a growing interest in public policy and government affairs as tools to scale and sustain impact.If you are working in economic development, community development, public policy, or government affairs, I would welcome the opportunity to connect.
