Professional Bio
Over the past two decades, Tim Weidemann has worked closely with local governments, nonprofits and individual businesses in the Hudson Valley and beyond to create stronger, more prosperous communities and to deliver efficient, effective and equitable public services.
After receiving a bachelor’s degree from SUNY New Paltz and a master’s degree from Carnegie Mellon University, Weidemann was recruited into Deloitte Consulting’s Change, Leadership and Learning practice, where he managed several large-scale change management and training efforts for statewide human services agencies and conducted new research on human capital challenges facing the public sector.
In 2016, Weidemann put his consulting practice on hold to join former Ulster County Executive Mike Hein’s Economic Development team as Senior Economic Developer. He was promoted to Assistant County Executive and, following the election of former County Executive Pat Ryan, was promoted to Director of Innovation, where he led the County’s COVID-19 data and constituent services operations and helped establish the County’s first leadership development program.
In 2021, Ryan tapped him to run the newly-created Department of Economic Development, where Weidemann spearheaded and negotiated a public/private partnership to redevelop the former IBM campus in the Town of Ulster, now known as iPark 87. Weidemann also successfully recruited Cresco Labs, a multi-state cannabis operator and licensed medical cannabis organization to purchase the former Schrade site in the Town of Wawarsing. His efforts have led to over a half-billion dollars of proposed development projects in Ulster County, with the potential to generate thousands of new, high-quality jobs.
