A Buffalo church may be redeveloped to residential use! Ellicott Development Company has the church at 187 N Pearl St under contract, with plans to convert the building in to residential housing.

[This story is a followup to the February 17 story on Tonawanda Schools auctioning district buildings, and the March 7 story on the successful bids on those buildings.]
The Tonawanda School Board voted unanimously to move forward with the sale of the Highland school and Administration buildings, which went up for auction and were successfully bid on. The public will have the opportunity to vote on the proposed sales on May 17. Assuming the public approves the sale, the sale of the properties will complete after that date.
A Clarence housing park aimed at adding senior housing will more than likely be given the green light to add approximately 70 additional homes. On Wednesday, Stephen Development owner Paul Stephen approached the Clarence town board and asked for a special exemption permit to allow the expansion of the existing park. The permit was approved, though Stephen will need to submit a site plan before any work can begin.
Residents are concerned about dust and dirt being kicked up as part of the construction. Paul Stephen has made plans to develop a separate road for construction vehicles to use, which will hopefully prevent too much dust and dirt on the public use roads, as well as reduce noise pollution in the area. In addition, construction will only be able to take place from 7am to 7pm Monday through Friday, with limited hours on Saturday and no construction taking place on Sunday.

Key Bank is planning to open its fourth branch in Amherst, NY. The new location, which will be located on Niagara Falls Blvd just north of Robinson Rd, will be approximately 3,900 square feet and should open by the end of July 2010. The new branch is expected to house a lobby, teller line, five offices, two drive up teller lines, an ATM, and a night depository. The staff would consist of three tellers, two relationship managers, mortgage and investment advisers, a branch manager, and an assistant branch manager.

Two more branches are planned for the Tonawanda or North Tonawanda area, and in a low-income area near Niagara Falls.
