With hopes and optimistic timelines thrown around at the end of 2021, it felt inevitable that we would get an announcement on a new Buffalo Bills stadium by mid-January and New York State Governor Kathy Hochul’s State of the State Address. When none came, people were starting to get worried. Now Governor Hochul is telling fans not to worry.
“It’ll be done by March 31,” Hochul told The Buffalo News this week. “That’s the date for our budget. We’re in conversations with the Bills and they understand the process. They’re not getting anxious.”
With Hochul, a Western New York native, in the governor’s mansion, we’ve been optimistic a deal would get done sooner rather than later with no guarantee she will be elected for a full term.
