The Riverbend project, a redevelopment effort at the former Republic Steel site in South Buffalo, where the end use is projected to be a business park, has been awarded a $250,000 grant from National Grid, the utility announced in mid-September.
The grant, part of National Grid’s upstate economic development efforts, will be used to redevelop the 202-acre site that once housed Republic Steel and Donner Hanna Coke into a green business park, targeting mixed-use development.
“As we have proceeded through the master planning process for our new Riverbend development, the National Grid economic development program has provided much-needed financial support and professional expertise,” said Peter Cammarata, the president of the Buffalo Urban Development Corp., which is spearheading the redevelopment effort.
The Riverbend project is a part of the South Buffalo Brownfield Opportunity Act, which aims to clean up and redevelop approximately 2,000 acres of former industrial land on the shores of Lake Erie and the Buffalo River.

Brownfield Stateside Report

In Michigan, some are predicting a better business climate for redevelopment and regulatory closure of contaminated properties thanks to a bill Michigan Governor Rick Snyder was scheduled to sign last week. The new regulations should have a positive impact on commercial real estate development and brownfields redevelopment resulting in the creation of jobs. |
