If you've ever been to see a band play at Thursday at The Square, or you've taken the family skating down at Rotary Rink, then you're familiar with the organization Buffalo Place. Founded in 1982, the non-profit's goal is to make living, working and socializing downtown the best experience possible.
From Buffalo Place:
Buffalo Place Inc. is the not-for-profit organization dedicated to improving the economic health and quality of life in Downtown Buffalo.
In 1982, a group of property owners and political leaders recommended the formation of a 24-block business improvement district.
Buffalo Place manages the Downtown core surrounding the pedestrian mall, which was developed as part of the Light Rail Rapid Transit Project. Buffalo
Place activities are partially funded by special charges paid over and above property taxes within Downtowns Special Charge District. The Special Charge District includes Main, Pearl and Washington Streets from Goodell Street to the Buffalo River. Some constituent properties include HSBC Center, Main Place Mall, Hyatt Regency Buffalo, M&T Plaza, Key Center, Ellicott Square, Rand Building, Main-Seneca Building, The Brisbane Building and the majority of Downtowns large office buildings.
The corporations annual budget is 3.2 million dollars and 39% of the budget comes from a special assessment paid by Downtown property owners. Additionally, 47% is generated by our Marketing and special events efforts. Our property owners have a substantial investment in Downtown and are committed to Downtowns success. We strive to make Downtown Buffalo clean, safe and fun.
