Henninger received her AICP certification during her 17-year tenure with Walton County. She served as Walton County Planning Director for eight of those years. Henninger became Freeport’s first City Planner in January of 2005. During this period, Henninger has initiated a number of clarifying ordinances and practices to improve and streamline the development process for the City of Freeport. Notably, Henninger initiated and facilitated a city design charette entitled “The Face of Freeport” which began the process to provide ordinance language to preserve the history of Freeport, enhance the character of Freeport and create travel routes which are attractive, inviting and pedestrian-friendly. Henninger is so encouraged and positive regarding the future of Freeport that she has relocated her family to the area and states “It is my privilege and great joy to work with the fine people of Freeport. Freeport’s elected officials have been good stewards of the City’s resources. My hope is to be a help to them and make a positive difference for this community which to me represents the best of the Florida Panhandle.”
