Groundbreaking for the solar-powered Buffalo Heritage Carousel will occur at 10 a.m. Wednesday.
The $4 million octagonal-shaped roundhouse that will shelter the park-style carousel was approved Tuesday by Erie Canal Harbor Development Corp. A summer 2020 opening is planned for the nearly 6,000-square-foot structure on the boardwalk behind Clinton's Dish, near Perry and Prime streets.
The waterfront agency's board of directors also approved Heritage Point, a $21-million project along Marine Drive near Main Street. The first residential project at Canalside calls for two 6-story buildings separated by a public walkway. It includes 122 residences, along with offices and restaurants at the Sinatra & Company development project.
Construction of Heritage Point is expected to begin in the second quarter of 2020, following a brownfield cleanup, and to finish in summer 2021.
