East Side Neighborhood Transformation Partnership

The CENTER provides planning and technical support for redevelopment activities in distressed neighborhoods across the East Side of Buffalo, with a primary focus on the Martin Luther King, Jr. community that borders Martin Luther King, Jr. Park, a Fredrick Law Olmsted park. The Better Schools/Better Neighborhood Initiative, with its objective to develop a model of neighborhood transformation, encompasses the Martin Luther King, Jr. community as its focal interest. The CENTER will work toward the adaptation and implementation of the neighborhood transformation model, thus helping distressed communties across the region to rebuild into great places to live, work, paly and raise a family.
