Smith Group A group of volunteers has soldiered on to keep Buffalo's historic Central Terminal complex from falling apart completely, gradually assembling the political support to put significant cash into planning its future. The Central Terminal was probably at its peak about 75 years ago, in the wake of World War II and before jet airliners. Its surrounding Broadway-Fillmore community was also in great shape, booming and bustling with its Polish history. The trains left in 1979, but still go by near many abandoned tracks. Now, Albany is starting to put up cash to turn around the old passenger train complex and indirectly its neighborhood, building on what volunteers have done to keep it viable. In an online meeting Thursday evening, planners described possible uses for the property.
