4 public hearings to be held on stadium proposal

Highmark Stadium
Buffalo Bills

The Erie County Legislature announced Friday that it will hold three public hearings on the plans and negotiations regarding a new stadium for the Buffalo Bills.

A private study unveiled earlier this week considers renovation of the nearly 50-year-old Highmark Stadium, or construction of a new facility; whether a new stadium should be domed or uncovered, and whether it should be located in Orchard Park, downtown Buffalo, or elsewhere.

The public hearings will take place at 6 p.m. on Dec. 6 at the Erie Community College City Campus, Dec. 7 at ECC North Campus in Amherst and Dec. 8 at ECC South Campus in Orchard Park.

COVID-19 precautions will require participants to wear masks and practice social distancing at these meetings.

Meanwhile, the Buffalo Common Council is hosting a public hearing regarding the location of a new stadium Tuesday at 5:30 p.m. The Council unanimously passed a resolution recently to have the stadium built in downtown Buffalo.
