Board offers suggestions to struggling Falls

NIAGARA FALLS, NY-- A New York State office called Financial Restructuring Board for Local Governments has offered some new recommendations for the struggling city of Niagara Falls to help them save money.

The board found that the Cataract City suffers from low housing values, as well as having one of the highest property tax rates in the state.

The board also found that while the city does receive revenue from the Seneca Nation Gaming compact, that revenue has been declining over recent years.

To help combat costs, the board recommends that the city and county combine services, like civil service and dispatch services.
