Resolution
By: Mr. Davis
Re: Building A New Football Stadium in DowntownBuffalo
Whereas: Recently former Hall of Fame quarterback Jim Kelly who is seeking to form an investors group to purchase the Buffalo Bills raised the idea of building a stadium in downtown Buffalo; and
Whereas: The Perry Projects bounded by South Park Avenue, Chicago, Scott and Hamburg Streets would be an ideal location for an NFL stadium given its proximity to downtown, the Outer Harbor, State Thruway and a proposed casino; and
Whereas: The Perry Projects are an aging facility in which many structures have already been removed; and
Whereas: Any effort to build a stadium at the Perry Projects location will require ensuring that current tenants have input in their relocation to new living quarters; and
Now Therefore Be It Resolved
That the Buffalo Common Council is interested in starting a dialogue on the idea of building an NFL stadium at the Perry Projects location.
Be It Further Resolved
That a copy of this Resolution be forwarded to the Buffalo Municipal Housing Authority, the Perry Projects Tenant Council, the Mayor of the City of Buffalo, Ralph Wilson and Jim Kelly to obtain their comments and feedback.
