Schumer Pushing for Investment in Downtown Falls
(2009-11-17)
(wned) - Niagara County Community College wants to expand and re-locate its Culinary Institute. It considers the old Rainbow Centre Mall in downtown Niagara Falls to be an ideal location.

"We really believe this kind of program could help jump start downtown," said Senator Charles Schumer during a press gathering in Niagara Falls.

Calling the program "one of the best around," Schumer believes the NCCC Culinary Institute in Niagara Falls could be a "people magnet."

NCCC has raised $17.5 million of the $20 million needed to complete the re-location. Senator Schumer told the gathering he will try to secure the remaining funding to make it happen.
