Buffalo Waterfront is committed to providing opportunities to small, local businesses, as well as minority and women-owned businesses. In addition, as a New York State agency, Erie Canal Harbor Development Corporation (ECHDC) requires contractors to award a portion of their contacts to certified minority- and women-owned businesses (M/WBE). As an organization that’s leading the development momentum in downtown Buffalo, ECHDC takes that requirement seriously and is committed to positioning Buffalo as an emerging and innovative city that embraces diversity and inclusion in all aspects of Buffalo Waterfront's operations.
