The new vision for the former Sheehan Hospital will be unveiled to the public on Friday, March 8, at the facility at 425 Michigan Ave. in Buffalo. McGuire Development Co. bought
the hospital out of foreclosure for $1.7 million in December and has been working on plans to develop the building as a health center.
University Pediatric Dentistry will operate an on-site dental clinic, and the Langston Hughes Institute, a not-for-profit community center, will be housed temporarily in the building.
The company is also working with the Michigan Street Corridor Commission, which was created by an act of the state Legislature in 2007 to work to highlight the neighborhood's place in African-American history, locally and nationally.
The open house will run from 1-3 p.m., with the announcement of the latest development plans at 2 p.m.
