Elmwood Village Public Forum February 10

Dear Friends of the Elmwood Village:

The City of Buffalo Common Council Legislative Committee will hear comments from the public regarding our Elmwood Village Design Standards next week Tuesday, February 10th at 2pm in the Common Council Chambers of City Hall.

Now more than ever, a strong united voice of support from our Association membership, Cultural Institutions, foundations, businesses, and property ownersmust be heard. The Elmwood Village Design Standards were developed through extensive community outreach and guided by local Urban Design professionals at Flynn Battaglia Architects. More than 500 residents, businesses, and property owners participated in our planning process.

The Elmwood Village Design Standards define the community’s vision for an appropriate, sustainable, and beautifully urban neighborhood while providing developers and building owners with a clear set of development guidelines. Implementing these Standards into law will help future development projects in the Elmwood Village move more quickly and seamlessly while maintain the urban character of our community.

We are so very close to our goal of implementing these much needed Design Standards for the Elmwood Village into law. Please take 1 hour out of your busy day to attend the Common Council Legislative Committee meeting on Tuesday, February 10th at 2pm in the Common Council Chambers of City Hall. Your attendance and voice will help protect and improve our neighborhood for generations to come!

I look forward to seeing you on Tuesday, February 10th at 2pm!

Sincerely,

Justin Azzarella
Executive Director
Elmwood Village Association
