Planning for the South Buffalo Brownfield Opportunity Area (BOA) is progressing. Over the past nine months, the City of Buffalo has undertaken an in-depth analysis of approximately 1,900 acres of strategically located brownfields, underutilized properties as well as industrial and open spaces in South Buffalo.
On Wednesday, December 3rd, the City will present to the public and stakeholders the various land use options for the study area. It will be held at the Buffalo Irish Center, 245 Abbott Road. The event includes an open house from 5:30 to 6:30 pm, a presentation from 6:30 to 7:15 pm, and a workshop from 7:15 to 8:30 pm.
Working with a consultant team, land use options for the study area have been prepared. The City is seeking public input in making critical choices as a master plan for the area is created. The project is crucial to the city’s future, and important for charting the reclamation and redevelopment of these valuable lands.
The South Buffalo BOA was recently among one of three projects designated a Brownfields Smart Growth Spotlight Community by Governor David A. Paterson and Secretary of State Lorraine Cortés-Vázquez. This important designation links the BOA to the Governor’s Smart Growth Cabinet, strengthening State support for future implementation efforts.
