Congratulations to the Beverly Gray Business Exchange center! This incubator will help small businesses and local non-profits accelerate their path to success! #BuffaloNY #MajorityLeaderCPS

I was proud to dedicate this beautiful portrait of Beverly A. Gray at the Business Exchange Center on 334 E. Utica St. I was proud to name the center after her in honor of her legacy & to see the East Side transformed into a hub of innovation!
