Lt. Gov. Kathy Hochul cited Buffalo’s remarkable economic resurgence as a model for how to transform a city into a vibrant, growing urban area as part of her discussion at the ˿Ƶ College Distinguished Leaders Lecture Series event held on May 29.
“After facing decades of challenges and neglect, we pulled together and turned Buffalo around to create a city that is prospering and continues to develop,” said Hochul, who was the first top official from the governor’s office to be a featured speaker in the lecture series. “A range of economic development efforts has had a powerful impact that’s generated a new level of excitement and a positive outlook for Buffalo’s future.”
