The Niagara County Legislature issued a proclamation declaring May 14 at Apraxia Awareness Day to help raise awareness about this disorder.   

Niagara County Economic Development Chairman Rich Andres today said the proposed site for the new  warehouse project of which Amazon could be the potential tenant, was deemed shovel ready by Empire State Development (ESD) a decade ago, and as such, the project absolutely needs to be approved if the county wants to maintain credibility with national and international site selectors.

A new training facility for the Niagara County Law Enforcement Academy (NCLEA) will be built on the Sanborn campus of Niagara County Community College (NCCC).  An estimated $2.27 million for the building was appropriated in the SUNY building fund adopted by the state budget passage a few weeks ago.  Last fall, the Niagara County Legislature voted to allocate up to $3 million from the county’s American Rescue Plan funds for the construction project.  The total anticipated project cost is approx. $4.54 million.
