A small church in North Buffalo was also converted into apartments,
WTS mentioned charter schools possibly filling dormant churches.
St Gerards Church on Bailey & Delavan has plenty of room for apartments,a school,offices etc...
St James while nowhere near as stately as St Gerards also has a large school behind the church in which I could see being reused as apartments( or even another school) and the church used for offices etc..
A BIG concern is the diocese will they be fair in their selling prices?
Im interested in hearing from others on ideas that may be out there in regards to reusing these beautiful buildings.. How do we market them to developers?
