This Saturday, April 7th from 5-7 pm Project Green Space will be having a talent show and fundraiser at The 755 Restaurant in the City Market Plaza.

There is a suggested donation of $15 for an evening of great entertainment and delicious food for a worthy cause. Please come out and support this great program that beautifies a vacant city lot while employing local youth and teaching them important skills. The youth advocates and Director Charles Harris will be on hand to talk all about their past successes and their plans for the year.
Director Harris had the following message to members of the community.
“Project Green Space will rehabilitate an empty lot and work with impoverished communities to maintain a stable and healthy lifestyle,” said Director Harris. “In an attempt to revitalize neighborhoods, we will continue to work with many different organizations to tackle quality of life issues pertaining to food deserts in Niagara Falls.”
The youth advocates and Director Harris will be on hand to talk all about their past successes and their plans for the year.
“We will raise the awareness,” said Director Harris, “of community members surrounding food deserts and host seminars to teach healthy eating habits and different ways to form a stable community. This will include education on gardening, recycling, bring new life to empty lots, fields, street corners, and buildings. My project will not only bring food to our community, it will build community relations. Eventually, the project hopes to become self-sufficient by selling produce from the community garden to collect funds to reinvest in more neighborhood projects.”
If you are unable to attend but would still like to help, please make a donation at the IOBY site below, which doubles all funds collected through the site.

Far Too Often, Promises Have Proved Empty; Niagara Falls Needs Progress And Strategic Planning

By tony Farina · August 4, 2026

By Tony Farina Promises are nice and they bring hope for the future.

At this point, Niagara Falls doesn’t need more failed promises. What the city needs is progress to build a better future and a plan to make it work. City leadership must bring it all together. While there are promises to build a better future on the table and being talked about, like Centennial Park and the Niagara Digital

Governor Issues Response To McMurray’s Letter on Slag Concerns

By tony Farina · August 4, 2026

By Tony Farina The radioactive slag bubbling up across Niagara County in recent weeks, triggering state and federal testing and some remedial work and family relocations, is the ongoing and seemingly never-ending legacy of the environmental desecration of the past 100-plus years by massive corporations dumping toxic waste that was the subject of Christen Civiletto’s book Thundering Waters. “What we have again is an environmental storm,” said attorney and former Grand Island Supervisor Nate McMurray, a candidate for election to the 45th District State Assembly seat now open because of the retirement of Angelo Morinello. McMurray will run for the
