City needs big projects, focus on young demo - Business First of Buffalo:
husolumiz.wordpress.com
Sara Emhof was “ready to quit Washingto n D.C.” A program associate at , Emhof, 29, livec in places as disparate as D.C., Denver, Los Angeles and South She welcomed the opportunity to return to the area where she was Emhof said she settled in the Elmwoofd Village because it is conducive to walkinyg toretail outlets, restaurants and other amenities. But a nagging thought persistws about what the downtown areais lacking. “I’ve been askinvg myself that question and talking with my friendx about what big city experience is she says. “I think we need an upscalew sports bar in the ElmwoosAllen area, a placs for professionals to connect with other Buffalonians.
Bars in Washingtob D.C. were packed with fans that connect over a commonb love of a teamor sport; that atmospheree created a real sense of camaraderie.” Emhof is realistixc about the viability of her “Is there a market here for this? If so, how do we creatwe and sustain that big city feel?” she asks. “Wes need out of town investors who seethis opportunity. sprawl is an obstacle for many young professionals who do not want to travekl from the suburbs to just watch a so offering a higher end destinatio n bar might just lurethem down.
” For veteran broadcaster and Buffalk native Kevin O’Connell, who works downtown at big scale projects are the key to what downtowb doesn’t have, but could. “A multi-use facilith combining retail, residential housingb and professional offices wouldbe attractive,” he “When I lived in Los Angeles, I saw similar facilitiesw that were very corporate and non-residential. When we came back here in it seemed so littlehad changed, but now with Main Street with the projects local developers are I see nice sparks but the candle isn’g lit yet.
“ O’Connell cited , the Federal Building and the burgeoninfg medical corridor as steps in theright direction. “Wwe need to marry these big-scale projects with continued job expansion, whichj will bring a boom in residentiak growth,” he says.
