HTN: Rehab Set for Former Stadium Site

17 years ago, the federal government approved two-million dollars for the Johnnie B. Wiley Amateur Athletic Sports Pavilion, on the site of the old War Memorial Stadium. Finally, the city is about to spend the money on the worn-down facility, which is located in one of the neediest neighborhoods in Buffalo. The decision has come 18 months after the Department of Housing and Urban Development notified Mayor Brown's office of the available money. An agreement was reached on how to spend the two-million at a February 17th meeting.
