BNE Announces New Investors 

I am very pleased to introduce and welcome this week two new investors who are joining our economic development efforts.  Alcott HR Group and Berardi Immigration Law are now among the group of 52 distinguished private sector companies that support Buffalo Niagara Enterprise's mission of revitalizing our region's economy. 


With offices in Long Island, New York City and Buffalo, Alcott HR Group is a Professional Employer Organization (PEO) that provides comprehensive and cost effective human resources solutions for small to medium sized businesses.  The company provides clients with the administration of HR, Workers' Compensation, Employee Benefits and Payroll so they can concentrate on growing their businesses.  WNY Director of Operations and Sales John Bradley will represent Alcott on our Partner Investor Council. 


Berardi Immigration Law  is a full-service immigration law firm offering a complete range of immigration services to both businesses and individuals.  The firm began providing in-kind services to the BNE in 2008 and recently increased their commitment to include direct financial support.  With offices in Buffalo and Toronto, BMI attorneys are uniquely qualified to manage the most contentious and unusual immigration needs.  Principal Rosanna Berardi will continue representing the firm on BNE's Partner Investor Council.


Buffalo Niagara's primary business and economic development organization, the BNE is currently 99% private sector funded.  Our ability to effectively market the region and provide research and business development assistance to the companies who invest and create jobs here is due solely to the support of our private sector leaders, so thank you to all of our investors and welcome Alcott HR Group and Berardi Immigration Law!   

Newest Visit Buffalo Niagara Video Touts Area Music Scene

The recently released sixth installment of Visit Buffalo Niagara's "Buffalo. For Real" TV series highlights the long and hip history of our local music scene, particularly at the legendary Sportsman's Tavern.  Located in the heart of downtown Black Rock, one of the city's oldest neighborhoods that has experienced an exciting transformation in recent years with the arrival of some trendy new restaurants, gift shops and galleries, Sportsman's Tavern has attracted countless well-known musical names and acts over the years.  It has developed a reputation as being the "Austin of the north", a flattering reference to the city known as the live music capital of the world.

 

Click here to go to the Buffalo For Real TV channel on YouTube and check out the Sportsman's Tavern Video, and while you're there make sure you view the other five videos as well.  Between great live music, awesome night life in Allentown and the friendly and neighborly service at Vidler's 5 & 10 in East Aurora, they may help you decide what to do this weekend.
