The Welchâs Building in Westfield.
WESTFIELD The Western New York Regional Economic Development Council in the spring of 2018 identified 16 priority projects for promotion. The goal was to develop long-term strategic plans for economic growth for properties in need of new life.
One of the projects identified sought to transform the historic Welch building in downtown Westfield into a multi-use property. Nearly three years later, and a deal involving a Buffalo development group that has since fallen through, the Portage Street property is again on the market.
Hanna Commercial Real Estate has the 49,000-square-foot building listed for $495,000. The Welch building was constructed in 1910 and used as the company’s headquarters until the mid-1980s.

To the Editor:
Welcome Back, Ogdensburg Journal – the City of Ogdensburg looks forward to you joining the efforts to ensure the survival of the city, while working equally as hard to begin the revival of the city; every individual living in city and every business operating in the city must be part of this effort.
In reading your inaugural editorial, facilitated by the Watertown Daily Times, it appears you are not well informed about the significant challenges facing the City of Ogdensburg, which is unfortunate because we have many very serious matters to address.
