Interesting interview with Mark Stevens…he and his family are just trying to make a difference.
The most interesting comments were in reference to the city’s claim that the land has already been marked for use by Habitat for Humanity for new homes as part of the reason for the denial of the Stevens’ request to purchase and develop the land for farming.
From the Buffalo News yesterday…
City Economic Development Commissioner Brian Reilly defended the decision by his department’s Land Use Planning Committee to reject the Stevenses’ request to buy the land. Some of the parcels on Wilson Street will likely be used for new homes through the Habitat for Humanity program, he said.
After reading this in the News, Mr. Stevens contacted the HFH president…the HFH would be willing to modify any plans they have to accomodate the Stevens and nothing is set in stone.

BFA is working on a plan to help spread the word about the plan and to win its approval by the city…stay tuned.
