Buffalo Rising reports: “Governor Cuomo in his State of the State 2017 address promised State support to extend the light rail system to the UB Amherst North Campus and establishment of a transit hub in the DL&W terminal at the foot of Main Street. The projects are part of the Buffalo Billion II program unveiled today that includes 20 different programs and initiatives totaling $500 million. “‘The first Buffalo Billion brought new life and new energy back to Western New York, and this investment will ensure the momentum continues,’ Governor Cuomo said. ‘The second phase of the Buffalo Billion will build on the success of strategic initiatives that have already made dramatic improvements to the region’s quality of life and create new economic opportunities for all Buffalonians. This is exactly the kind of transformation New York invests in and these achievements will ensure that the Queen City is nothing short of world-class once again.'”
