Officials say they’re looking for a major private investment to improve hiking, biking, climbing, fishing and other outdoor activities along the Niagara River so that visitors to the falls will stay longer.
The state Friday issued a request for proposals targeting an 11-mile stretch of waterfront above and below the falls. Respondents have to have plans for the entire project area, though components can be phased in over time.
USA Niagara Development Corp. will give prospective developers a tour of the area in July. Proposals are due Sept. 15.
Niagara has had nothing for 20 years except the falls. The decent hotels are on the Canadian side. One decent one on the American side and is very expensive. The state wakes up now!! Where has the tourist industry been? Now that Trump has chased away most of our tourists they are waking up! Mazel Tov! You are a little late just like Rip Van Winkle who slept for 20 years!!
Don’t mess with the Canadians cause they have good beer. For shalom zachors of course
