BUFFALO, N.Y. — Buffalo’s longest-serving mayor, Byron Brown, said Monday he will leave City Hall in a few weeks to lead an offtrack betting agency.
Brown, 66, a Democrat, will be paid an annual salary of $295,000 to become president and chief executive of Western Regional Off-Track Betting Corp. He will oversee operations at the agency’s betting sites in several counties in New York and Batavia Downs, which offers live harness horse racing and a video game casino. As mayor, he is paid $178,500 a year. His term was set to end Dec. 31, 2025.
“We think the relationship that Mayor Brown has developed over the years and his time as a legislator and his relationships in Albany and in the governor’s office will help us to move forward with some of the things that we would like to do,” Bassett told reporters after the vote. In announcing his early departure, Brown said he was proud of the city’s progress under his leadership, citing the Rust Belt city’s first population increase after decades of decline. The city on Lake Erie had a population of 278,000 in 2020, according to the U.S. Census — up 7% from 2010.
