Buffalo, N.Y. (WBEN) - Niagara University and M&T Bank are teaming up to support minority- and women-owned startups in Niagara Falls Thursday night from 6 to 8 o'clock at NU's Russell J. Salvatore Dining Commons. The networking session will feature representatives of groups that support small businesses and other resources for aspiring business owners.
Sign-ups are now open for Buffalo residents between 16 and 21-years old that are interested in taking lifeguard training courses with the City of Buffalo. The first 2-day session is free and is scheduled for the weekend of Jan. 13th of next year. Certified trainees will receive a $525 stipend once they join the City Lifeguard Team.
The response to the opening of Hounds & Hops at Seneca One is prompting owners Jarod Miller and Bob Manley to speed up expansion efforts, per Buffalo Business First. Miller and Manley intend to build the nation's largest indoor dog park in a 30,000 sq. ft. space at the tower that used to be a parking garage. Hounds & Hops' pet grooming shop and a small beer lounge for dog owners opened on November 1st.
