| Notes |
The work groups played a
vital role in the early planning
stages of the WNY REDC and
the development of the regional
plan. Some work groups
continue to serve as a forum for
sharing information, learning
from best practices, and scoring
CFAs; while other WNY REDC
work groups transitioned
into the role of assisting with
implementation of the Buffalo
Billion initiatives. The work
groups are designed to be
flexible to adapt to the everchanging economic development
needs, and the transition from
planning to implementation.
Because many of our work group
members work across groups
and because many work groups
are interrelated, all member
names are listed under six broad
strategies. Work groups continue
to evolve yearly as needs change
and to avoid redundancies. |
