HTN: Inner Harbor Plan Unveiled

The Erie Canal Harbor Development Corporation and the Empire State Development unveiled the master plan for Buffalo's inner harbor revitalization yesterday. The Canal Side project will cover 20 acres of the waterfront with 725-thousand-square-feet of entertainment, hotel, office, retail, residential and restaurant. The plan also includes waterfalls, an ice-skating rink, towpaths, a replica milling wheel, underwater tunnel, canal boats, and more. Construction won't start until a State Environmental Quality Review is finished; that could take six to 12 months.
