Mayor Byron W. Brown invites you to an open house to help create a long-term vision for the future of Buffalo’s waterfront, and turn one of the city’s most challenging and underutilized areas into a regional asset.

Consultants working with the Mayor’s Office of Strategic Planning will present preliminary development concepts for the Inner and Outer Harbors, and engage the community in a discussion of its long-term vision for these sites.

  • What is the role of Tonawanda Street Corridor in the future of Buffalo?
  • How can the corridor continue as an important manufacturing center while providing additional opportunities for a more diverse economy and improved neighborhood setting?
  • How can the area capitalize on key assests, such as Buffalo State College?
Please join us to help unlock the future of Buffalo’s waterfront.  And don’t forget to let your friends and neighbors know of this exciting opportunity.
