Administered by the Buffalo Erie Niagara Land Development Incorporation, the Regional Land Bank, the program is supported with American Rescue Plan Act funds, 11.1 million awarded to the city, and $13.5 million to the county as well as a $1 million from the Empire State Development Corporation's County Infrastructure Grad Program.

And obviously, it's preferable to some kind of giant Washington spending package with all these grants and agencies and bureaucratic organizations with money that the voters never really see but does drive inflation higher, and that's ex- exactly what the, uh, the rescue plan that Joe Biden came along with.
