开发商道格拉斯·杰马尔(Douglas Jemal)由于缺乏支持和资金,暂停了水牛项目,寻求帮助解决停滞的振兴问题。
Developer Douglas Jemal pauses Buffalo projects due to lack of support and funding, seeking help to address stalled revitalization.
水牛城复兴的关键发展者道格拉斯·杰马尔(Douglas Jemal)说,由于进展缓慢、缺乏市政支持和成本上涨,他的乐观情绪已经减弱。
Douglas Jemal, a key developer in Buffalo’s revitalization, says his optimism has waned due to slow progress, lack of municipal support, and rising costs.
尽管对Seneca One Tower和Statler旅馆再开发等项目进行了大量投资,但他在仅获得1 000万美元的国家援助(远远低于他3 000万美元的要求)之后,暂停或出售了几个企业,包括Richardson旅馆和Boulevard Mall。
Despite investing heavily in projects like Seneca One Tower and the Statler Hotel redevelopment, he has paused or sold several ventures, including the Richardson Hotel and Boulevard Mall, after securing only $10 million in state aid—far short of his $30 million request.
Jemal对缺乏统一的发展战略和公共支持不足感到沮丧,他愿意出售更多的资产,除非地方和州领导人为解决基础设施和金融挑战提供有意义的援助。
Frustrated by the absence of a unified development strategy and insufficient public backing, Jemal is open to selling more assets unless local and state leaders provide meaningful assistance to address infrastructure and financial challenges.
