Strictly Business

From Business Today:

Ever walk into church and wonder what the sanctuary would look like as an apartment?  Well, you can see at the former North Park United Presbyterian Church in North Buffalo. Creative Structure Services just completed converting the church and adjoining school into 12 apartments. It's one of several former churches in the region that have been renovated for housing.

Seven grants and loans from the Empire State Development Corp. totalling $5.7 million are expected to create 329 jobs in the Western New York region. The companies that received the money are: PCB Piezotronics, Praxair, Steuben Foods, Metaullics Systems, Empire Genomics, Audubon Machinery Corp., and SolEpoxy.

The continuing saga of the bid to buy the Statler Towers has been delayed for a week. Supporters of the building are patient. What's a week when the fate of such a landmark is at stake?

And, who is getting hired, honored or promoted?
