BUFFALO (Nov. 20, 2023) - The Buffalo Urban League (Buffalo, NY) is planning to construct a new $25 million headquarters on Jefferson Avenue, aiming to enhance its presence in East Side neighborhoods.

This project, revealed at the organization's gala, seeks to consolidate multiple locations, including the current headquarters, into a 40,000-square-foot building. The new space will accommodate administrative functions, program areas, and a potential business incubator.

The design intends to reflect the neighborhood's culture and sustainability while fostering private conversations and community engagement. The new location aims to put the Urban League closer to the communities it serves and become a catalyst for activity in the area.

The project will be funded partly by philanthropic donations, state assistance, and potential tax credits, emphasizing fundraising without utilizing funds from their daily operations.
