FEDERAL FUNDS COMING TO BUFFALO

Buffalo getting about $1.27 billion. Elected officials sharpening their knives, along with their selected community leaders. We know some crumps will come our way to support the development of the Hispanic Heritage Council’s Hispanic Center on Niagara Street. The Latino Village feels this is not enough; actually, it is a big insult to the community. We urge people who consider themselves leaders to meet, prepare to fight together for a LOT MORE, a great opportunity to bring LIFE to the Niagara Street strip. Time to develop a “Business Economic Latino Plan.”

We have the human resources to qualify for a big piece of the action. In addition to the proposed HHC Center, other Latino groups will be able to sponsor their own San Juan project, like El Batey Puerto Rican Center, Los Artistas del Barrio, El Buen Amigo, El Museo, Pucho Olivencia Center, Belle Center, HUB, Hispanic Women’s League, Los Taino Senior Center, El Cajaro Social Club, and the Raices Theatre group. Don’t settle for one cultural center, we can have more. We can also help Latino businesses by generating consumer & tourist traffic. Look where the Peace Bridge is located. What do you think?
