As a new chapter for the City of Buffalo unfolds with new leadership in City Hall, PPG and our partners are advocating for well-researched policy solutions to Buffalo’s most pressing challenges. In the weeks ahead, as the mayoral campaigns continue, we are publishing a series of Buffalo in Transition papers to highlight public policies that reduce poverty, advance racial equity, and build a more just and equitable region.

Additional topics will include building better services for New Americans, investing in the arts, ensuring affordable water, ending corruption in City Hall, and more.
