Interesting.. why Buffalo? Are they getting tax incentives?
There's no mention of partnering with U of Buffalo but there is a pretty major 10 year tax break for tech companies that do.[1]

The project awarding the incentive is under state and federal investigations and at least one key official (Alain Kaloyeros) involved has been suspended without pay.
Short answer: yes. The city is in dire need of new economic activity.
