Are you ready to take charge of your community’s future?
We are Strong Towns Buffalo, a local chapter of the national Strong Towns movement. We are a group dedicated to making our city stronger, safer, and more livable.
Rebuilding Downtown
A region isn’t strong without a strong core. In 2026, we’re launching more tactical projects to build momentum and energy in Downtown Buffalo.
Want to help make it happen? Reach out—we’re looking for volunteers who enjoy planning and coordinating, and we’re raising funds to bring small, high-impact ideas to life.
Bench Project
With so many Buffalo bus stops lacking a place to sit, our bench project is a no-brainer. We’re building and installing benches at high-need stops across the city.
To nominate a bus stop, fill out the Nomination Form. You can also see some of our progress so far here!
Housing Accessibility
Housing needs across America are changing, and Western New York is no exception. Strong Towns Buffalo is launching 12 Steps to Town Making, a series that breaks down the basics of buying, improving, and maintaining property.
Our goal is simple: help more people feel confident taking real-world steps to create and sustain more housing across WNY.
