For years, there have been talks about what the future beholds for the Commodore Perry Homes, as they sat derelict, surrounded by a number of new developments.

Now, Mayor Byron Brown and the City of Buffalo Office of Strategic Planning have announced that the intention is to demolish the uninhabited building project. To that end, the City has applied for funding through the Restore New York Grant Program, to get the wrecking ball swinging.

The City is eligible for a total of $5 million through the Restore New York program, which provides financial assistance to eradicate blighted structures such as the Perry Homes, in order to redevelop the property for residents and businesses.
