GOVERNOR CUOMO ANNOUNCES $10 MILLION FOR RALPH C. WILSON, JR. CENTENNIAL PARK IN BUFFALO

 Governor Andrew M. Cuomo announced $10 million for two signature features of what will be the Ralph C. Wilson Jr. Centennial Park in Buffalo. New York State will help fund a pedestrian bridge to replace the current Hudson Street Bridge, which will create access to the lake’s edge in the park, as well as a new lagoon that boosts tourism and resiliency efforts. The Ralph C. Wilson, Jr. Centennial Park will be located at the current site of LaSalle Park, the City of Buffalo’s largest waterfront park.  For years, the City of Buffalo and the community have envisioned something greater for LaSalle Park. With the support of New York State and the Ralph C. Wilson, Jr, Foundation, which previously committed $50 million toward the park, the park’s potential will come to fruition.
