Buffalo City Retains Ownership of Templeton Landing for Redevelopment
What happened
Buffalo won a legal battle to retain ownership of Templeton Landing, ending a dispute with the restaurant's owners. The city's development arm, Buffalo Urban Renewal Agency, argued that the owners breached the terms of a 2003 lease-to-own agreement by operating the site as a banquet venue rather than a full-service restaurant. The property is now under city control and is slated for redevelopment.
