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. Through the alignment of community interests and values we will make Chippewa the most sought after destination for entertainment, living, learning and working in the City of Buffalo.
