It's really exciting. I think what we're bringing, our subtle changes this year - in the way of our Wi-Fi and a lot of great food and programming that's happening - It's just a nice buzz we have here in downtown Niagara Falls ... All of our collaborators are really working together to make something festive and fun, that's even our tagline - food, festivals and fun.
The removal and replacement of this stretch of the Robert Moses Parkway will reconnect downtown Niagara Falls to the upper Niagara River, opening up access to the river's edge and making it more valuable for development.

This public infrastructure investment will help the city's tourism business by routing traffic through the city instead of bypassing it.More quotes »
