Who We Are
the City of Buffalo’s not-for-profit development agency
Buffalo Urban Development Corporation (BUDC) is the City of Buffalo's not-for-profit development agency, reclaiming distressed land and buildings for future development.
BUDC seeks to create an environment conducive to private investment, provide oversight and visioning for projects of regional significance, serve as a liaison among various public and private stakeholders, serve as a conduit for public funding of significant projects and serve as a real estate holding company for certain public-sector projects.
We're looking for volunteers to help install temporary street improvements at three Buffalo intersections this June as part of the BUDC Temporary Intersection Redesign Project -a community-driven project bringing new murals, painted crosswalks, street furniture, planters, and wayfinding to Michigan Ave., Marine + Commercial, and Roosevelt Plaza.
Volunteers will help paint, assemble, and arrange temporary installations that make these sites safer, livelier, and a little more Buffalo. Whether you're handy with a paintbrush, good at moving things around, or just want to be part of something fun in your neighborhood, there's a role for you.
Come for an hour. Stay for the whole thing. Bring a friend.
We're working across two weekends:
Weekend 2: ROOSEVELT PLAZA
Friday - Sunday, June 26, 27, and 28 | 9am--5pm RSVP: https://tinyurl.com/Volunteer-BUDC-Site-3
Please RSVP using the link for your preferred site so we can plan accordingly. More details will follow after you sign up.

Downtown Waterfront Improvements Plan
BUDC and the Mayor’s Office of Strategic Planning have worked in collaboration with our consultant MIG, stakeholders, partners, and city residents to create the Downtown Waterfront Improvement Plan (DWIP). The main goal of DWIP is to better connect residents and visitors to the Downtown waterfront area through accessibility and placemaking enhancements, including improving roadways, trails, parks, signage, and lighting equitably. Please see this link to the Plan.
