The waterfront development panel approved the hiring of a construction management firm to oversee removal of asbestos and other hazardous materials, an enormous predemolition effort that is expected to cost $11.3 million. http://www.buffalo.../story/156866.html The Central Wharf site is out, and the Memorial Auditorium site is back in the running for a Bass Pro Outdoor World store in downtown Buffalo.
