A Revitalization

Governor Andrew M. Cuomo and Erie Canal Harbor Development Corporation (ECHDC) are leading the charge to revitalize Buffalo's waterfront and restore economic growth to Buffalo. Over the past 11 years, ECHDC, a subsidiary of Empire State Development, has spearheaded projects along Buffalo’s waterfront to help Buffalo and Western New York realize a vision of renewed prosperity. Buffalo is experiencing a renaissance - and newly developed waterfront access, as well as new buildings, public spaces and activities where there once were none, are helping to drive our city’s resurgence. Look no further than the work ECHDC has done at Canalside and the Outer Harbor!

“The Gateway to the West”

The Erie Canal Harbor was originally built in 1825 as the western terminus of the Erie Canal. In its heyday Buffalo, known as America’s “Gateway to the West”, was one of the world’s greatest business centers, teeming with canal and rail traffic passing from the Atlantic seaboard across the Great Lakes. For much of the 19th century, it was truly an industrious port that bustled with people and goods from all over the world.

As a result of this prodigious commercial activity, by 1850 Buffalo was transformed from a small waterfront village into a thriving metropolis—eventually becoming the largest inland port in the nation as well as the unofficial grain capital of North America.
