I know that there have been all sorts of surveys over the years of the various wards in Lackawanna - Look what's happening in Buffalo's Old First Ward today. Maybe it's a good idea to do the same in our City...what do you think?


..........University at Buffalo undergraduate students will conduct a one-day, house-to-house survey of the Commodore Perry neighborhood in Buffalo's Old First Ward from 10:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. The needs assessment survey, in which residents will be asked about the health care support services they value, is part of a planning initiative by the UB Center for Urban Studies, the Buffalo Municipal Housing Authority and the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.

The data obtained through the survey will be used to produce a redevelopment plan for the neighborhood, which will be submitted to HUD as part of a competitive grant application aimed at garnering federal funds dedicated to helping economically distressed neighborhoods...........
