BERC's Wanamaker heading to West Coast
Business First of Buffalo - by James Fink Business First
Tim Wanamaker, head of the Buffalo Economic Renaissance Corp. and Buffalo Office of Strategic Planning for the past five years, has resigned to become city manager of Inglewood, Calif.
Wanamaker tendered his resignation late Tuesday to Buffalo Mayor Byron Brown shortly after the Inglewood City Council voted to offer him a contract. Terms of the contract were not revealed.
Brown and top members of his administration declined comment.
Wanamaker was recruited to Buffalo by former Mayor Anthony Masiello. He moved to Buffalo from Prince George's County, Md. in early 2003. Wanamaker brought a deep resume of talent and experience to Buffalo City Hall.
During his Buffalo tenure, Wanamaker tackled a number of tough development projects and issues including overseeing new housing projects in various neighborhoods along with a lengthy list of commercial projects ranging from working with Benderson Development Co. on bringing a Kohl's department store to North Buffalo to working with British investor Bashir Issa on the re-development of the Statler Towers. Buffalo has a development pipeline exceeding $4.4 billion - the highest in the city's history.
That he left Buffalo for another city was only a matter of when, not if, City Hall insiders said.
"We knew Tim would be on someone's radar screen," one insider said.
