Housing Chief to Exit

December 7th, 2005 by bremerton-beat

My first and perhaps only conversation ever with Merrill Wallace occurred Tuesday and was about his departure from the executive director position of the Bremerton Housing Authority.
The agency’s board of directors decided to not renew his contract. Wallace is credited with diversifying the BHA’s financial base, but the board is looking for a better communicator and someone better able to adopt a regional perspective.
There have been rumblings behind the scenes for months that this was going to happen.
Wallace had the job 23 years. His last day is Friday.
