billybob : There's a reason why major publications over the last few years have been touting Buffalo as a destination, best kept secret type of city. Now a new convention center is in the talks
@HipKat :
Just saw an extended report on one of the business channels that M&T Bank headquartered in Buffalo announced their quarterly earnings . They easily beat expectations. Though they have branches through the NE, they cited the continuing growth in the Buffalo region of good paying
jobs including high tech, media and health care. A diversified economy
For the record, MT Bank was one of tbe very few large banks that kept their dividend in tact after the 2008 crash. At the time of that crash their was lots of development going on in Buffalo. No developer defaulted on any loan there. At that time, sone local stations took the time and money to invest in their infrastructure and with that the ability to keep attracting top on air talent who wants to move up the ladder. Maybe some day, someone from Peoria will turn up there.
