An Introduction to the Tour

Hi! I’m James Morrell, board chair of the Central Terminal Restoration Corp. For nearly 30 years, we have cared for the Buffalo Central Terminal with the help of many volunteers and supporters. Today, you can see our momentum as we undergo a bold, community-driven transformation.

With construction and development happening now, we’re building a new future for the Central Terminal as a lasting cultural and economic hub for the community. I grew up nearby, and I know that this is more than just a building to save – it’s a generational investment in Buffalo’s future. 

We’d like to thank David Hochman, a long-time champion of our living landmark, for making this self-guided tour possible. We greatly appreciate his generosity and friendship. We are also grateful for the support of the Ralph C. Wilson, Jr. Foundation, the Regional Revitalization Partnership, M&T Bank, Empire State Development, East Side Avenues, and the Center for Regional Strategies.

And now … on with the tour!
