BUFFALO, N.Y. The Trico Building redevelopment has been a heavily debated project for at least a decade. This was a project I was very hesitant about, from the beginning, said Buffalo City Council President Darius Pridgen.
Despite lawmaker s reservations, preservationist skepticism, the Trico Building development, The Krog Group, announced plans to redevelop the dilapidating landmark in 2016.
At the time, Krog received over $3 million in tax incentives towards the $75 to $90 million redevelopment. Peter Krog told Buffalo Business First in 2016 that the developer hoped to complete the project by summer 2018.
