The region's economic health may turn in the coming months, but Jim Fink of Business First sees another strong year for business development in 2020. As some high-profile projects--Elmwood Crossing, the Forge--will continue to take shape, Fink expects more investment coming "into Buffalo neighborhoods." In his 2019 report looking at regional development, Fink calculated some $20 billion in large-scale projects in Western New York. He won't be surprised if that total is equaled or surpassed in the coming year.
