The big focus of investment money for Cuomo, for some reason, is Buffalo. Vast amounts of resources (time and money) has been invested, especially in the waterfront and in an old steel mill location (Solar City). Investors have been pouring money into this area on housing, etc. Even Central Terminal, the old railroad depot (huge structure) has the interest of a Toronto investor. Hospitals are in the process of relocating to a Medical Corridor which is vast and will include the involvement of the State of New York, Buffalo Medical School. There is also speculation that the Buffalo Bills will have a new stadium in downtown Buffalo and there will certainly be state money involved in that facility. It’s pretty amazing to see, but I’m not sure why this is happening because for years, Buffalo was the rust belt that nobody cared about.
Buffalo, while part of the Upstate rust belt, has always been a Democratic party stronghold due to the working class population.
U.S. Attorney General Baharra is looking into the matter, and subpoenas have been issued , statewide.
Cuomo's response : "Everybody , shut up"
