Welcome to the City of Buffalo and thank you for visiting our website.

 

As the 58th Mayor of Buffalo, I am excited with the many initiatives, development projects and opportunities that are coming together to reinvigorate and revitalize our great city.

 

With a rich history, a tradition of innovation and a culturally and ethnically diverse citizenry, Buffalo possesses all of the appealing characteristics and qualities of the great urban centers of the United States.

 

From the birth of our city in the early 19th Century through the remarkable growth period of the 20th Century and now in an era of change and rebirth during the 21st Century, Buffalo is prepared to build upon the many assets that make us unique and attractive for investment, economic development and growth.

 

Like many of our peer cities in the Northeast, our city has weathered challenging economic times, yet we have remained steadfast in our determination to move progressively and positively toward a better future.

 

As Mayor, I am committed to harnessing the physical, cultural and intellectual strengths of our city and transforming those unique qualities into sustainable and positive developments that will benefit our citizens and visitors alike.

 

From the ongoing redevelopment of our waterfront to our many cultural institutions and our wonderfully diverse neighborhoods; to our thriving commercial districts, our peerless urban architecture and an artistic community that continues to inspire and excite; to an extensive university and college system, along with the groundbreaking scientific research of our state-of-the-art life sciences institutions, Buffalo is a city that will continue to grow, diversify and evolve.

 

So please enjoy visiting our website and once you see what we already know, come visit us and see firsthand what a great and exciting place our city is – Welcome to Buffalo!

Byron W. Brown
Mayor
