“This Friday, the Bellamy Commons will emerge as a new community fixture on Jefferson Avenue in Buffalo, New York. Upon opening, the Bellamy Commons will become home for many, with all 30 affordable apartments already filled. This space will also serve as the new home for the Buffalo Black Achievers Museum to share success stories of Buffalo African Americans. This project was a collaboration of Federal, State, local, and private investment along with the aid of over $4 million in Federal low-income housing tax credits. These credits encourage development and construction in communities that are often neglected and increase affordable housing options. Developments like the Bellamy Commons have the power to create, encourage, and empower more residential and commercially integrated neighborhoods. A full community effort is something we are no stranger to in western New York. Over the years, it has been a key in revitalizing our region. It is time that we begin to see the same development and much-needed investment in Buffalo's east side neighborhood. ____________________”
