Three years after the Buffalo Billion became part of our conversation, the hopes and dreams it generated are turning into reality
When Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo announced his plan for the Buffalo Billion – an all-in bet by the state to revive Western New York’s moribund economy – people didn’t know what to make of it. Was it just a political ploy? A drive-by headline grab? Too good to be true?
Turns out, none of the above.
The announcement three years ago became a rallying cry for the region’s business community to get busy, get onboard and make it work. And in 2014, the results started showing up.
• Ground was broken at the RiverBend complex where SolarCity is building the largest solar panel factory in North America.
