The Black Rock / Riverside Alliance (BRRA) is committed to the overall betterment of the Black Rock, Riverside, Grant-Amherst, and West-Hertel Neighborhoods of Buffalo New York. We believe that the road to a brighter tomorrow begins with the informed and educated individual citizen. We strive to provide the educational resources, training materials, and basic logistic support to allow individuals
and groups to work with us and each other to achieve the following goals:
- Revitalize and preserve these vibrant, historic communities.
- Protect and improve the valuable asset that is our waterfront environment.
- Actively combat urban blight.
- Work towards the beautification of our neighborhoods and city.
- Bolster private economic development.
- Increase commercial desirability
We strive to complete these goals in an effort to lessen the burden placed on the government by developing self-sufficiency among residents and to improve the overall quality of life in these communities. Special thank you to our sponsors and grantors for our 2022 projects and events!
