The college has been progressing in leaps and bounds, especially in the last few years as we move forward with the fulfill- ment of the strategic plan activities. Hilbert is no longer the unknown or little-known college in the Southtowns. It’s now recognized as a higher education institution in strong competition with its sister colleges in the area. Its faculty, students and graduates rival and surpass their counterparts, and its programs and services are such that they have created a definite niche to attract students. Some of the statistics which compare the status of the college in 1975, the year Hilbert attained its initial accreditation with the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools, with its position today provide substance for just pride. 1975 2005 Faculty/staff 50 193 Enrollment 574 1,110 Hilbert is no longer Bachelor degrees 9 13 the unknown or little- Graduates to date 5,144 6,000 Library holdings 46,662 37,670 (with an known college in the additional 500,000+ electronic holdings) Southtowns.

Montague, currently the Associate Dean for Finance and Administration in the College of Arts and Sciences of the University at Buffalo-The State University of New York (UB), has accepted appointment as the Senior Assistant Provost for Finance, Budget, and Operations in the Office of the Provost at Stony Brook University. Heather will formally start in her new position on February 27, 2017, but she has already begun a series of visits to the campus to facilitate the assumption of her new duties and responsibilities. Heather will be working closely with the Associate Vice President for Budget, Mark Maciulaitis, and members of the Office of the Provost in that transition process.

  • Snyder Action Plan Amherst, New York
    Snyder Action Plan Amherst, New York 3. Existing Conditions The Snyder Business District is unique to the Town of Amherst and remains much healthier than other similar traditional business districts and residential neighborhoods throughout the region. An analysis of the area revealed a number of strengths that should be built upon. It also identified some of the challenges confronting the business district. The following findings provide a general overview of existing conditions within the Snyder Business District. 3.1 Location and Access As they say in the real estate community, it’s “location, location, location!” Snyder enjoys a key location near the geographic center of the Buffalo metropolitan area. It is often said that in Western New York, everything is “twenty minutes away.” In Snyder that statement is especially true. Down- town Buffalo, Buffalo- Niagara International Air- port, the Canadian border, Buffalo’s Museum Dis- trict, both campuses of the University at Buffalo, major suburban shopping areas, and even Niagara Falls, Lockport and Or- chard Park are all within an easy drive. The I-290 interchanges at Main Street and Harlem/ Sheridan are less than a mile from the center of Snyder, and access to the I-90 at Cleveland Drive and the Kensington Ex- pressway (NY33) at Harlem Road are only slightly further. In addition,the community is well served by public transportation on NFTA bus routes 30, 48, and 49, which link directly to the 123456789012345678901234567 123456789012345678901234567 subway at South Campus 123456789012345678901234567 123456789012345678901234567 Station and to downtown Buffalo. 123456789012345678901234567 12345678901234567890123456Regional Context Map 7 123456789012345678901234567 123456789012345678901234567 123456789012345678901234567 Parsons Team Page 6 of 67 Snyder Action Plan Amherst, New York 3.2 The Surrounding Community (See also Section 4 - Demographic Pro- file) Snyder enjoys enviable demographics as one of the most affluent and well-educated communities in the Greater Buffalo metropolitan area.

  • 2.0 Historic Overview
    Intensive Level Historic Resources Survey of Selected Resources Town of Amherst 2.0 HISTORIC OVERVIEW CBCA PN 16-049 2 - 1 © September 2017 Intensive Level Historic Resources Survey of Selected Resources Town of Amherst 2.0 HISTORIC OVERVIEW Location The Town of Amherst is located in Western New York State in the northern section of Erie County. To the north, Tonawanda Creek divides the town from Niagara County. The Town of Clarence is at its eastern border, with Transit Road as the dividing line. Amherst is set off from the Town of Cheektowaga, to the south, by Wehrle Drive and the NYS Thruway, I-90. At its western border, Niagara Falls Boulevard separates Amherst from the Town of Tonawanda; and the city of Buffalo borders it to the southwest near Main Street and Kenmore Avenue at Grover Cleveland Park. Amherst is 53.28 square miles or 33,600 acres and has a population (as of July 1, 2017) of 124,733.1 Setting and Geography Geography played an important role in the development of the Town of Amherst. Settlers were attracted by rich soil and timber resources and the water power of the creeks. Mills along the creeks were important to the farm economy of Amherst during the nineteenth century. Ellicott Creek, once called Eleven-Mile Creek, enters the town south of the Village of Williamsville and flows northwest, emptying into Tonawanda Creek not far from the Niagara River. Tonawanda Creek on the town’s northern border flows west to the Niagara River and eventually became part of New York’s Erie Canalway system.
