BURA expected to OK Artvoice deal

Business First of Buffalo

After almost three years of negotiations, it appears that Artvoice is poised to move into downtown Buffalo's Theatre District.

Jamie Moses, Artvoice publisher, through his JM LLC partnership, has crafted a new deal with the Buffalo Urban Renewal Agency that revives his plans to move the business into a portion of the Glenny Building at 667 Main St.

Artvoice, the weekly arts and commentary publication, is currently located in leased space at 810 Main St.

For the past three years, Moses has been working with city officials on taking over 10,000-square-feet of the center and rear portions of the Glenny Building, leaving the front section as a local youth hostel.

Moses said he hopes to have the space renovated and be in the Glenny Building by early spring.
