Niagara Falls Must Not Send Mixed Messages When It Comes to Affordable Housing and Development
['Tony Farina']
The Niagara Reporter
That is why the State of New York and Empire State Development should take another look at using that short stretch of road between Seneca Niagara Casino and the entrance to Niagara Falls State Park for affordable housing.
Millions of people travel through this area every year, and for many visitors, it is their first impression of Niagara Falls.
Affordable housing tenants need and deserve easy access to grocery stores, pharmacies, neighborhood shopping, schools, parks, and other everyday services.
Every day, thousands of tourists, buses, and vehicles travel through this corridor on their way to Niagara Falls State Park and the casino.
Niagara Falls deserves a single vision for its most important gateway, not competing visions that leave residents, developers, and investors wondering what comes next.
