I had the opportunity to do a condemnation case there last year and another now (water park). There are and have always been two Niagara Falls - one in NYS and ne in Ontario. For the better part of a century (until the 1960's) when one referred to Niagara Falls, you were speaking about the one in NYS. It was world famous. It had a vibrant downtown with old buildings. All the attractions were there and not across the border. In the name of Urban Renewal, the state bulldozed the downtown. It never recovered. There are many paralells to AP. NF NY was plaqued by political corruption for decades. You made more money having a project fail than succeed. Droves of residents moved out. Businesses moved out. I am representing a NYC company that now controls 140 acres of Downtown, they bought it, didn;t condemn it. Their property is being condemned - for a parking lot for the Indian casino.
