The Buffalo Niagara Partnership released its 2025 Annual Report to Members during the inaugural BNP Economic Champions event on Nov. 18 at The Admiral Room, where Western New York's top leaders, change makers and innovators celebrated their successes and the peers driving Buffalo Niagara's economy forward.
Key wins highlighted in this year's annual report include:
- Reshaping the Cobblestone District with the BNP's move to its new headquarters – BNP @ the cobblestone – which is quickly becoming a bustling hub for the business community to network and collaborate
- Laying the foundation for a new era of American innovation with continued progress along the NY SMART I-Corridor
- Expanding the BNP's suite of talent development programs to help employers strengthen leadership pipelines and support talent at every stage of their careers
- Shaping policy that strengthens businesses and ensuring that the voices of Buffalo Niagara's employers are heard on issues such as workforce development and infrastructure
- Bringing businesses together, convening influential leaders and celebrating inspiring change-makers
"None of this work would be possible without the support of our members – the companies and organizations that trust the BNP to lead, convene and advocate on behalf of the entire region," said Dottie Gallagher, CEO of the BNP, and Thomas Emmerling, Chairman of the BNP Board of Directors and Managing Partner at Dopkins & Company, LLP.
"It has been an exciting and meaningful year for the BNP – one defined by growth, impact and purposeful planning for the organization's future, including a leadership transition in 2026."
