BUFFALO — An abandoned lot across the street from Buffalo Academy of Visual Art and Performing Arts is about to get a makeover, thanks to the Buffalo Dream Center.
"Actually bringing the Sunfest Pavillion and their ministry into the fold with the Dream Center so that we can now improve everything here legally.
Just make something that is going to benefit the community as much as possible because we are a church that wants to do as much as possible to help the community."
The church leaders who originally owned 447 Masten Avenue died in the past year, now the Buffalo Dream Center is stepping up to complete the removal of weeds and rusted equipment by the end of summer.
But they need donations and volunteers to get it done.
"We want to be able to do more for the community than we already are doing," said McClinton.
BAVPA Media Arts Teacher Asha Glorioso told 7 News Reporter, that she hopes the church will include students across the street to make the lot a community centerpiece.
"It's this beautiful land area with so much potential and I see that there's already been artwork here and a lot of love put into here — it just looks like it needs more love."
