City of North Tonawanda Local Waterfront Revitalization Program
Although the City's strategic location along the Erie Canal did not provide immediate economic benefits to the area, it eventually was the major reason that the Twin Cities area prospered as a lumber center in the late 1800's. Although the late 1800's represented the heyday of the City's use of its waterfront for commercial purposes, various industries developed in the 1900's which continued to rely on the community's shoreline location. The City of North Tonawanda is at the initial stages of a new type of shoreline development. If managed properly, the waterfront recreational industry can contribute substantially to the economic revitalization of the community.
