Our Projects

Our primary focus is on advancing three of our strategic goals: Land Acquisition, Land Reclamation, and Land Management. Our team is currently managing 5 properties and pursuing grants and initiatives to curate a larger inventory of waterfront sites so that they remain clean and well maintained. These sites will be made available to the public, allowing everyone to enjoy WNY’s abundant resources and view these sites as neighborhoods.
