Congressman Higgins has sent a letter to Bass Pro executives giving them 14 days to either move forward with building Bass Pro or Buffalo is moving on without them. Its about time someone put their foot down and got things rolling. I am not much into politics, but what I do know is that if you want something done in Buffalo, get Brian Higgins involved. He is a man of his word and gets things done.
I have no opinion on whether Bass Pro would be good or bad for Buffalo, but what I do know is that we can certainly move forward without them. There are plenty of other retail anchors that would draw people down to Buffalo to shop. Ikea would be a great idea. The closest one is near Toronto. Many of my family and friends plan day long outings to go there. It is very popular and customers from hours away would come to Buffalo to shop there. Remember, women are the shoppers, if you want to get shoppers into Buffalo, you need to put something there that is attractive to largest market of shoppers.
I work downtown and I am looking forward to the day that I can stay downtown to shop, have dinner and enjoy the waterfront.
