If you have interest in learning and discussing the future of the Ohio Street Corridor, I would highly recommend you going to the Design Circuit event on Thursday, October 18th. For more information about it, click here.

Why is this event  important?

The Ohio Street Corridor has an incredible amount of potential and will see a lot of change over the next 10 years as the Buffalo River corridor continued to grow and expand. We, the citizens of Buffalo can help decide the outcome of the potential will be. This is our chance to demand, discuss and share ideas to create and facilitate growth and the success that we deserve!

The Situation is Now: Architectural Panel Discussion.

A one night panel discussion set to explore the relevance and importance of Ohio Street, Canalside, and Outer Harbor Development in the context of the current state of Buffalo’s evolution, from the point of view of a city planner, journalist, developer, architect, artist, and the everyday user. There is boundless potential for Ohio Street, and our goal is to facilitate discussion, share ideas, and promote activity that enables Buffalo growth.
