BUFFALO, N.Y. (WIVB) — Acting Mayor Chris Scanlon joined WIVB News 4 on Thursday to discuss the Buffalo Animal Shelter, his recently announced repaving plan, and other topics on the minds of Buffalonians.
A new location for the Buffalo Animal Shelter has been decided and will be announced in the next couple of weeks, Scanlon said. A public-private partnership is currently being finalized.
On Wednesday, the acting mayor announced a $17 million repaving plan of over 190 streets. When asked about the historic amount, Scanlon said large-scale projects will be done on Jefferson Avenue, Bailey Avenue, and Main Street, as well as spot repairs throughout the year.
