yes, but
BOTH the city of Buffalo and Erie County are
growing again. Every inner ring suburb showed growth besides Tonawanda/Kenmore, and that was negligible.
In Buffalo, the inner city and inner suburb decline has pretty much already stopped.
Here's all of the inner ring suburbs:
° Tonawanda, pop. 72.6k (-931) 3rd largest suburb
° West Seneca, pop. 45.5k (+789)
° Cheektowaga, 89.8k (+1,651) 2nd largest suburb (Buffalo-Niagara airport, Walden Galleria-largest mall)
° Lackawanna, pop. ~20k (+1,808)
° Amherst, pop. 129.6k (+7,229) the largest suburb (UB North campus) with largest concentration of wealth is both inner and secondary ring
° City of Buffalo, pop. 278.3k (+
17,039)
° Erie county is
954,236 (+
35,196)

Buffalo has 67 projects in the development pipeline.
On the East Side, nine projects are under review for a total of $57.85 million in private-sector investment. Cedarland Development Co. plans an $11.65 million renovation of the former Eckhardt department store at Broadway and Fillmore, and the company has been named developer for 37 residential and vacant parcels on Playter Street.
Of the projects tracked by the Buffalo Office of Strategic Planning, 34.3% are in the Elmwood Village and West Side; 29.9% are in North Buffalo; 13.4% are on the East Side; 9% are in the central business district; 7.5% are along the waterfront; and 6% are in South Buffalo.
The impact is being felt, said Dwayne Jones, pastor of the Mt. Aaron Baptist Church on Buffalo's East Side.
“When these projects come along, they lift the psyche of the entire neighborhood,” Jones said. “I see it in our projects along Genesee Street.”

Perhaps the most visible sign of Buffalo’s changing fortunes are its new apartments, which turn up in empty warehouses, former municipal buildings and longtime parking lots converted into much-needed housing. In the last decade, 224 multifamily projects — encompassing 10,150 apartments, most of them rentals, the equivalent of about $3 billion in investment — have opened or are underway, according to the office of Mayor Byron W. Brown.
