1318 Niagara St., at the foot of Lafayette Avenue, was once a gigantic building used for malting, an aspect of beer production. The lot has been a contaminated DEC site for over a decade. Cleanup began in November and is nearly finishing up. So what next for this site, that offers a view shed of Black Rock Canal?
Vision Niagara advocated that the site be preserved as a green space. On November 26th, zoning was changed to D-OG (Green), thanks to the work of Councilmember David Rivera and staff!
We’d love to hear from our community on the Niagara Street corridor – what would you like to see here? Tell us at our next meeting and happy hour on January 8th (CBW, 4:00 pm) or pop us a note: info@visionniagara.org. We’d love to hear from you!
