ABOUT
Founded in 2014 as a 501c3 Non For Profit organization, the Chippewa Alliance was created by local business leaders and Chippewa Residents to work together on reviving Chippewa as Buffalo’s premier Entertainment District by implementing a safe and aesthetically pleasing “work – live – play” environment.
Our Vision
Chippewa Alliance is an active and invested group of stakeholders widely recognized as the driving force for economic development, beautification and safety of the Chippewa Community.
