Buffalo Central Terminal

From WBFO…

BUFFALO, NY (WBFO) – Governor David Paterson came to Buffalo Wednesday to sign the historic tax credits bill into law. Paterson appeared at the Buffalo and Erie County Historical Society. This law will allow tax credits for redevelopment projects of historic buildings.

Last week Mayor Brown urged the Governor to sign the bill saying it could save historic buildings like the Statler Towers and Central Terminal. Governor Paterson says he signed this legislation will encourage redevelopment of historic properties and create jobs.

Audio of the press conference is available at WBFO.

Dear friends of Buffalo Central Terminal,
On behalf of the entire Central Terminal Restoration Corporation, my co-chair and I would like to say THANK YOU to all of you who contributed to the Plaque Project. Thanks to each and every one of you, the new bronze dedication plaque replica was installed and rededicated on June 27, 2009; and as of July 23rd, the bill was paid in full.
Without your thoughtful gifts, this project would not have been a possibility. Your contributions and continued support are gratefully appreciated!
Sincerely,
Larry Schwindler
Kathryn Janus
Co-chairpersons
