CENTRAL TERMINAL RESTORATION CORPORATION TO RELEASE MASTER PLAN
Outline for Preservation, Restoration and Reuse of Art Deco Landmark
BUFFALO, N.Y. – The master plan for the preservation, restoration and rehabilitation of Buffalo’s Central Terminal will be released to the general public and primary stakeholders at 2pm, Thursday, March 10th, inside Buffalo Central Terminal. At that time, a downloadable copy of the document will be available on the Terminal’s website www.BuffaloCentralTerminal.org.
The comprehensive plan was prepared by the Central Terminal Restoration Corporation’s Architectural Advisory Committee. It will outline various infrastructural needs and development opportunities with the goal of returning Buffalo Central Terminal to its full architectural integrity and regional significance.
“The Buffalo Central Terminal stands in defiance of time to form a tangible link to our past and a gateway to our future,” explains Paul Lang, Chairman of the CTRC’s Architectural Advisory Committee.
The cost to complete all phases of this multi part plan is estimated at $75 million. A mix of private, public and foundation monies are being sought to complete the project. The amount of initial funding requested will be dependent upon which elements of the plan will be embarked upon within the next 14-months.
The Central Terminal Restoration Corporation was founded in 1997 to oversee the stabilization and restoration of the New York Central Terminal in Buffalo, New York. The Terminal complex includes an 18-acre site that hosts an art deco office tower, passenger concourse and four-story baggage building. The mission of the Central Terminal Restoration Corporation is to ensure that the original grandeur of the Terminal is available to current and future generations.

As I told my wife this morning, I’ll never see this in my lifetime. This is another example of how everyone is given a “pie in the sky” proposal for the city that will never come to fruition. As the article said this morning, “when this project happens of if it ever will”.
The same is true of the proposal for the railway museum; a beautiful concept with no money or hopes of getting any private funding.
No one wants to invest in our city because of our track record of never completing anything or constant in-fighting between all of the politicians.
When the funding is in place and ground is ready to be broken, that’s when you should tell the public about the project. Or better yet, wait until the ribbon is ready to be cut and there is something static in place.
we’ve had our hopes up yoo many times only to be let down in the end.
I Have Two Questions. One, Are there Any Jobs Thorugh Restoration Corporation And How Do I See. Two, Can How Do I or Who Do See to Submitting A Busness Proposal To ?
