I don't get it. What is "bust" about any of this? Sounds like lots of expansion of available land by the county, expansion of manufacturing, and speculative building with private money going on in an area with only 2% industrial vacancy. Nearly 40 years of polluted and vacant land is finally coming online and being occupied by manufacturers, distributers, or turned into other income generating property. I also saw last week that the huge new warehouse at Lakeside Commerce Park is also now framed in. Waterfront industry is infilling again.

It isn't, but hopefully the project will fulfill its goals, which unfortunately isn't always the case. With that said, I agree that it is a "boom", as development is taking place.
From the article: "When Atlanta-based Rural Sourcing was looking to open two new development centers, it initially considered 50 mid-tier U.S. cities.
Buffalo and Baton Rouge were ultimately chosen.
The fast-growing tech firm now plans to create at least 150 technology jobs in Western New York, with an average salary of $80,000.
“We looked around the country and Buffalo really spoke to us,” President Ingrid Curtis said. “It’s a diverse place and a town where you can really have an impact on the tech community.”
