[Downtown Bolivar]

I don't know why everybody says that the economy is bad here in WNY. It's slow, but it's not bad. From the most recent stats published in the Buffalo News this past week I believe the area has turned a corner. Yes we are continuing to bleed unionized unskilled manufacturing jobs, but now at least there are enough new jobs in other sectors that we are seeing a net gain in private sector jobs each quarter. It may not result in a construction boom downtown, but it is resulting in a lot of renovations and a new interest in downtown. Open your eyes WNY--things are looking up!
