Press Pass: Downtown development expected to surge in 2019

WBFO-FM 88.7 | By Jay Moran
Published December 18, 2018 at 9:16 AM EST

Development projects in downtown Buffalo are likely to be numerous in the coming year. That's the view of Jim Fink of Business First who provided updates on some key projects during his monthly appearance on WBFO's Press Pass. At the top of his list is the former site of the AM&A's department store on Main Street. The structure has been mostly vacant for years, but Fink believes the current owners will move forward in 2019 on renovating the complex into a massive hotel.
