Buffalo is building a new shared future
One with prosperity, equity, and opportunity on every side of Main Street.
Greater Buffalo is on the rise and we believe all our residents should have the opportunity to take part and fulfill their highest potential.
When we tackle the existing gaps in racial equity, we will expand opportunity in neighborhoods across the region — where people live, work and raise their children.
Our region will see even greater growth when all our residents can learn, work and further contribute to a healthy, thriving and prosperous community.
