"One of Buffalo's oldest public housing campuses is headed into a second round of redevelopment. The Buffalo Planning Board today will hear a proposal to demolish five building at the A.D. Price complex at 390 Jefferson Ave. to make way for a new $15 million senior housing building. A preliminary timetable calls for the new, three-story senior complex to be under construction next summer with a fall 2010 completion date. The 95-unit structure will have 83, one-bedroom units and 12 two-bedroom apartments reserved for low-income seniors. The new senior apartment building will be constructed incorporating "green" building practices to increase energy efficiencies and reduce waste. In addition to city approvals, the Buffalo Municipal Housing Authority project is awaiting word on state and federal funding applications." M. Scott Allen of GAR Associates, Inc. completed an appraisal and market study for this project in 2007.
