About Us

Jefferson Avenue's Path to Revitalization

Jefferson Avenue stands as a symbol of resilience and community spirit in Buffalo, NY. Our commitment to its revitalization is a cornerstone of our efforts, blending economic development with the preservation of its rich historical heritage. The significance of Jefferson Avenue extends far beyond its physical landscape; it represents a vital cultural and economic hub for the entire Eastside of Buffalo. The tragic events of May 14, 2022, known as the Tops Market Massacre, have deeply impacted our community, serving as a catalyst for change and unity. In response to these challenges, we stand united as Buffalo Strong, advocating for our community's needs and aspirations on local, state, and national levels. 

Preserving Jefferson Avenue's legacy and fostering its revitalization are central to our mission. We strive to create a vibrant, inclusive environment where the spirit of community thrives. Together, we are committed to building a future where Jefferson Avenue continues to serve as a beacon of strength, resilience, and opportunity for generations to come.
