Buffalo Fiscal Stability Authority Archived Websites

The State Legislature created the Buffalo Fiscal Stability Authority in 2003 to oversee the budget and financial and capital plans of the City of Buffalo, the Buffalo Municipal Housing Authority, the Buffalo School District, the Joint Schools Construction Board, and other governmental entities that receive funding from the City of Buffalo. The authority is empowered to issue bonds and notes needed to restructure the city's debt, and, if necessary, to develop financial plans on behalf of the city.
