It's time we put the public back in infrastructure! 💪🛠️🚧

Small-scale, neighborhood level improvements, like new garbage cans, can have a huge impact on quality of life.

Thanks to the hard work of Preservation Buffalo Niagara and WestSide Business and TaxPayers Association and a borrowed hammer drill and masonry bits, Grant Street has never looked better. 🚮✨

By sharing more, we can continue to build neighborhoods that work for everyone.
