Buffalo's economy has struggled for many years. It is a highly misunderstood place. Many people think it is near NYC. Though it is actually more than 500 miles form NYC much of its economic stagnation can be traced to NY's domination of state policy. Recent years have seen a strong resurgence in downtown entertainment and housing. There is a long way to go to bring it back to its former glory but interesting none the less.

I know many will look on with much skepticism but Buffalo is a very fine jewel in the rough. great neighborhoods, great architecture, great natural assets nearby. Here is for hoping it can sustain some real future growth.

This is Ani Defranco and her Righteous Babe Records conversion of the former Asbury Delaware church into their new offices/recording studio/performance space. The building will also house the Hallwalls Gallery. Hallwalls is a nationally recognized organization which has played a major part inthe early careers of several major artists.

and another

This will be the mother load of all development in Buffalo if it ever happens. This is one of three development proposals presented to the NFTA for Buffalo's underutilized outer harbor. The land has been described as the largest piece of undeveloped urban waterfront in the country. Some say it has huge potential.

The scheme shown below may be pie in the sky. It includes a 1000 room hotel and hundreds of high density condos, a convention center and much more. The other two schemes seemed a bit more realistic and restrained. I do not see the Buffalo market handeling this much new construction with its current economy. However there is an unbuilt (and currently authorized Indian casino which if added to this mix could start to make a huge hotel possible. The remaining schemes will be available for viewing on the NFTA web site Monday.

and these nearing completion

Here are some images of some buildings currently under construction in DT Buff. There was another building but it was architecturally hideous so I could not bring myself to photograph it. sorry for the gloomyness of the pics...it was getting dark.

and this new river crossing

This is one of the schemes being considered for the new Peace Bridge crossing to Canada.

The existing Peace Bridge at only 3 lanes wide is the second busiest boarder crossing after the Detroit Ambasador bridge. It is severely undersized. The Peace Bridge Authority originally proposed a more mundane copy of the existing bridge as a companion span. But activism in the community forced them to look to building what has been called a signature span. final design work is set to begin in 2005.
