Reopening Resources

As Buffalo, Erie County and New York State reopen, we want to make the transition back to business as smooth as possible. Now that you’ve signed our Buffalo Cares! Stay Safe Pledge, our resources below will supply you with imagery, social graphics, suggested posts, and an outline for Erie County’s full reopening schedule with guidelines for specific industries.

If you have any questions, comments or concerns, Cindy Kincaide, Visit Buffalo Niagara’s Director of Destination Development & Industry Relations, can be reached via email at kincaide@visitbuffaloniagara.com.

A toolkit of images to share on social media, suggested captions for posts and design files is available by downloading our Buffalo Cares! Stay Safe Pledge toolkit using the link below.
