The Buffalo Maritime Center has been on a quest for a permanent home for years. Now, the building it currently occupies at 901 Fuhrmann Boulevard will close its doors at the end of 2010, leaving the local institution out in the cold (and snow). While recent press has covered Director John Montague's renewed efforts to secure space at the city-owned Col. Ward Pumping Station to accommodate the Center's Maritime Museum (see post), boat building facilities, research center, library, community outreach programs, and extensive collection of restored and historic boats, a meeting earlier this month between Montague, the building's authorities, and Water Board members seems to have quashed these plans for good.
