More from the News:

Despite pandemic, it's a feeding frenzy in Buffalo Niagara housing market
Quote:
Forty-two offers.

That's how many different would-be homebuyers bid on Scott Sciumeca's father's Cape Cod-style house in the Town of Tonawanda – which he built in 1954, and where Scott and his sister grew up.

With the number of homes for sale at its lowest in more than 22 years, homebuyers are scrambling to find houses they want to buy. And when they find one they like, the competition is often intense
. . .

The frenetic activity has caused agents to conduct the sales as informal auctions, listing homes early in the week to allow excitement to build, before holding open houses on the weekend and then demanding all offers by the following evening. In turn, that only encourages a bigger run-up in prices, as buyers and their agents try to put their best foot forward to outbid the competition.

Besides overwhelming the sellers and their agents, that has led to a significant jump in prices, with buyers pushing up valuations by tens of thousands of dollars. Jacque Taylor, of Weichert Realtors Stovroff & Taylor Real Estate, cited a house priced in the mid-$200,000 range that received 21 offers and sold for $60,000 over the list price, while another listed in the mid-$300,000 range sold for $70,000 above asking.
New movie studio with ambitious plans cleared for Niagara Street
Quote:
Lights, camera, action.

An ambitious plan for a new film and television production studio complex on Buffalo's West Side won final clearance Monday, allowing the $50 million project by a London-based movie development company to advance toward the start of construction.

Great Point Media, a media investment fund manager, plans to construct a 57,700-square-foot building at the corner of Niagara and West Ferry streets, in the first phase of what could be a multiyear development with as many as three studios. The first phase will focus on film, TV and streaming, while the second phase will target feature films.

In turn, that may yield a windfall of new opportunities, including the prestige of producing movies in Western New York, with up to 500 new jobs – not including actors and extras needed for extended periods of time for each film or show.

Project backer Larry Quinn has said that the British company expects as many as 12 television movies and two "medium-sized" feature films in the first year of operation.
. . .

With Monday's approval by the Planning Board, groundbreaking is expected in September, with completion by September 2021. If successful, the company would proceed to a second phase of expansion within 12 months, with another identical building behind it extending toward West Avenue.

Keep in mind, it gets that rating from being Nationally Ranked in Lung and Colon Cancer. Its not in the top 100 in Pediatric and other types of Cancer.

Strong Memorial gets a good rating for Breast Cancer:

Roswell is #2 here:

All in all Buffalo is fortunate to have a World Class Cancer facility.

The Golisano Childrens Hospital you may be referring to is in Fort Myers Florida. There are also locations in Rochester and Syracuse.

He has donated quite a bit of money to the Rochester Facility. Wikipedia:"Golisano donated $14 million to the University of Rochester, which renamed their pediatric facility at Strong Memorial Hospital the Golisano Children's Hospital in 2002. In 2012, Golisano pledged an additional $20 million to URMC to build a new Golisano Children's Hospital, which opened in 2015"

As for Niagara Falls all they show is this one: https://nfmmc.org/directory/location...munity-health/

However they will be building a cancer center in Niagara Falls in conjunction with Roswell Park:
