                     BUILDING BUFFALO'S WATERFRONT

  (Mr. HIGGINS of New York asked and was given permission to address 
the House for 1 minute.)
  Mr. HIGGINS of New York. Mr. Speaker, a $50 million Federal 
investment to create a parkway opened access to Buffalo's outer harbor 
waterfront 10 years ago. That parkway was the catalyst for new 
development that started with Gallagher Beach; a new State park, 
Wilkeson Pointe; and new parkland on the former NFTA property from 
terminal A and B to the Seaway Pier and beyond.
  This Thursday, the Canal Corporation will announce more than $100 
million in new investments to open up 180 acres and improve access to 
the outer harbor lakefront of Buffalo. More Buffalo waterfront 
development is coming, development to move Buffalo forward with a new, 
exciting waterfront of possibilities.
