In Lackawanna, St. Barbara faces uncertain future

Link to November 19 Buffalo News article.

Excerpt:
Lackawanna city officials explored converting St. Barbara Catholic Church on Ridge Road into a new City Hall but determined it would be too costly for taxpayers.

A proposal for a performing arts center in the church didn’t advance very far, either.

So the majestic church, which sits slightly elevated over the empty houses and grassy lots in the surrounding neighborhood, remains unoccupied, waiting to be reused.
