The Buffalo State College campus community is invited to review our recently completed comprehensive report (PDF, 8.6 MB) on the public concept phase of the Reimagine 166-170 Dart Street Project.

Throughout this process, we have been committed to engaging with and listening to stakeholders on and off campus regarding the future use of the parcel. Today marks another milestone in our inclusive process as we share with you a summary of this invaluable input. Buffalo State and the City of Buffalo are encouraged by the feedback and look forward to the next steps to move forward together.

Over the past 12 months, we have learned more about the opportunity to align our process with the collective work of a new initiative, Region Central, which is led led by the Greater Buffalo Niagara Regional Transportation Council. Region Central is a new community-wide initiative to create a better future for all who live, work, play, and travel in the Scajaquada Corridor. Later tonight, June 17, Region Central will host a virtual public meeting via Zoom to provide an overview of the group’s planning effort and to provide an opportunity for members of the community to give input on the community-wide vision. The event begins at 6:00 p.m. I encourage you to attend this session; please register online.

Because of this new initiative, Buffalo State and the City of Buffalo have agreed to pause the Dart Street project while Region Central completes its work. This pause will allow for broader community engagement to better inform our recommendation on the Dart Street parcel.

Although no plans or developments within today’s report have been endorsed by Buffalo State or the City, and no funding has been identified, we look forward to the continued engagement with the campus, local community, and stakeholders and alignment with the Region Central process.
