EVERYBODY’S WATERFRONT
Buffalo’s Outer Harbor - Lectures, Public Forums & Events
April - May 2015
Buffalo’s Outer Harbor on Lake Erie has been discussed and hotly debated this past year, initiated by a new planning effort by the Erie Canal Harbor Development Corporation. It is time to have an ongoing conversation about this place: What is the future for this waterfront land? What is the community’s vision for the Lake Erie Waterfront? A series of lectures, public forums and events will be held in April and May to further this conversation.
Please attend one or more of these events. Your participation and voice are important.
