The search for a new village manager in Vernon Hills attracted interest from coast to coast, but the chosen candidate grew up down the street.
Wauconda Village Administrator Kevin Timony will succeed Mark Fleischhauer as village manager starting July 6. His selection from among 76 applicants was announced Tuesday.
The village in January hired GovHR USA, a Northbrook recruiting firm, to help find a replacement for Fleischhauer, who had announced his retirement but agreed to stay until a successor was chosen.
Fleischhauer said the process was very competitive with a number of exceptional candidates.
