GOVERNMENT NEWS

REAL ESTATE NEWS

  • Amherst developers will continue building mixed-use and apartment projects because tax breaks and bulk buying lower costs, while Buffalo projects have stalled due to high construction costs, tough loans and rising interest rates—experts say city projects struggle to compete. Local builders warn that without more support, urban development will remain on hold.  The Buffalo News
  • Developer David Mazur is moving ahead with a $14 million investment to build the 80-unit Woodstream Landings apartment complex on nearly 10 acres along Sawyer Road in Wheatfield — construction will begin this spring with one-, two- and three-bedroom units. He is seeking Wheatfield approvals and a tax break from the Niagara County Industrial Development Agency — the project is expected to be move-in ready in 12 to 24 months.  WBEN

SPORTS NEWS

  • The Buffalo Sabres announced new jersey numbers for the 2025-26 NHL season—Josh Norris will wear No. 9 after requesting his former number from the Ottawa Senators while Zach Benson will switch to No. 6, with updated jerseys available at The Sabres Store at KeyBank Center.  WGRZ
  • Josh Allen joked about his bloody nose after a hit early in the Bills' 30-10 win over the Jets on September 14—he left the game briefly and returned after trainers checked him; he is expected to start Thursday against the Dolphins at 8:15 p.m.  WGRZ
  • The Bills beat the Jets 30-10 on Sunday as their defense rebounded strongly after giving up 40 points in the previous game—missing key players like Ed Oliver and Taron Johnson. The team now prepares to face the Dolphins Thursday night at Highmark Stadium while working to stay healthy.  WGRZ
  • After the Bills beat the Jets 30-10, Josh Allen, James Cook and Sean McDermott shared their reaction to the win — they credited the team's strong play and hard work for the victory.  WGRZ
