Here are some reports posted elsewhere following last week’s open forum on the future of housing and neighborhoods in Buffalo.

  • David Tourke posted at FixBuffaloToday about the orientation night held two nights before the open forum meeting.
  • Elena Cala Buscarino posted at BuffaloRising a great summary/overview of the open forum evening, with some great photos, too.
  • Brian Reilly posted a short video (below) of the closing circle, with about half of the evening’s 50 participants still on hand. This video captures a bit of the spirit of the forum and the evening’s winning line (three minutes into the video):

“My question was answered. That’s the most important thing, my question was answered. (laughs all around) I met a lot of people with whom I hope to create working relationships and… this is the first time I’ve really enjoyed working with the City in a long time!”

Thanks to Belmont Shelter Corp. for hosting and for everyone who made the evening a success with their passion, participation, and practical ideas.
