Letter to Mr. Loether, National Park Service - Approve the Northland Corridor Redevelopment Project Request for Property to the National Register of Historic Places

Letter

Dear Mr. Loether,

I am pleased to write you in support of the Northland Corridor Redevelopment Project's request for inclusion of the Niagara Machine and Tool Works Factory on the National Register of Historic Places. Such a designation would enhance the project's eligibility for funding opportunities and help spur economic development on the East Side of the City of Buffalo. Specifically, the approval of the Project Part II proposal is vital to moving this project forward.

Upon redevelopment, the property, located at 683 Northland Avenue, will house a workforce training center that will train workers for jobs across a wide variety of fields and professions. Attaching the historic designation to this site will not only protect and help restore the facility's character but also enable the State of New York and the City of Buffalo to take advantage of federal programs designed to help cultivate developments of this exact nature.

Thanks to the diligent work of Mayor Brown, Empire State Development, and Buffalo Urban Development, I am pleased to express my full-throated support of this designation and hope that the application meets with your approval.

Please don't hesitate to contact my office if you have any questions regarding the application.

Sincerely,

Charles E. Schumer

United States Senator
