In a time of uncertain around NHL teams, the Buffalo Sabres will get some good news on Wednesday morning; the city of Buffalo is going to choose their proposal for the prime Webster block district. It took months of deliberation and even a delay to the announcement, but the plan proposed by Sabres owner Terry Pegula and his legal team won the vote. The Sabres’ only competition was a plan proposed by NYS business man Carl P. Paledino. The Sabres plan will call for two ice rinks, a hotel, a parking garage, and retail shops that will be built right on the waterfront along canal side. The plan has a cost of $123-million, and is expected to cost more in the form of public subsidies that the Paledino proposal, but obviously decided it was worth it based on what the city was getting. Stay tuned to Queen City Sports for more as this story develops. The post Buffalo Chooses Sabres Proposal appeared first on Queen City Sports.
