Niagara Falls, NY– City of Missed Opportunities
OPPERTUNITIES
UPPER RIVER PARKWAY
LOWER RIVER GORGE
DOWNTOWN
OUR HERITAGE

UPPER RIVER PARKWAY
Before the Parkway the upper river was a mix of commercial and stately residential property with front yard views of the upper Niagara River.

Upper River Views
These stately homes were once riverfront property.
They are now separated by viaducts and berms of an elevated parkway.

Private Investment
Commercial Properties, blocked by the Parkway have remained undeveloped for years with no potential interest in sight.

LOWER RIVER GORGE
The lower river gorge area, offering spectacular views both up and down the river, has never reached its potential as a tourist attraction.

Cultural District
This area, adjacent to the Discovery Center and Aquarium, currently occupied by the parkway, would likely become part of a new “Cultural District”

Development on Whirlpool

Adds to property values & Tax Base
And brings Commerce to adjacent business districts

DOWNTOWN TOURIST DISTRICT
We can not afford to let 90,000 sq. ft. of retail potential in the heart of the tourist district to sit empty and expect the city to compete as a tourist destination

NEGLECTING OR HERITAGE
These buildings are not only our heritage, but are opportunities to become part of the experience of visiting Niagara Falls, NY
