Steve Burdick, Vancouver's
economic
After ten years as the City of Vancouver's director of Economic Development Services, Steve Burdick is leaving the city for other adventures at the end of April. "This has been a wonderful adventure, and I am grateful to have had the opportunity to work on so many challenging and cutting-edge projects," says Burdick. "At this stage of my life, I am looking for different experiences and another exciting career." Burdick first worked for the city from 1984 to 1990 as project manager for Officers Row and represented the city in public-private partnership agreements for Riverview Tower and the Evergreen Retirement Inn. Burdick left the city, but after serving seven years as vice president of operations for Key Property Services, Burdick returned to the city in 1997. During his second stint with the city, Burdick managed the Vancouver Convention Center and Hilton Hotel project and, through 2005, the rehabilitation of the West Barracks. Burdick also represented the city in public-private partnership agreements for Heritage Place, Vancouvercenter, West Coast Bank Building, Kirkland Union Manor, Lewis and Clark Plaza and Esther Short Commons. He was also instrumental in securing a permanent home for the Vancouver Farmers Market adjacent to Esther Short Park. "Steve has left a legacy of accomplishments for our community,” said city manager Pat McDonnell. “I will miss the passion and dedication he brought to every aspect of the job. He is someone with a strong, clear vision who is not afraid to think big and dream big. I will miss him very much.” McDonnell said he will begin recruiting for Burdick's replacement immediately.
