• 🌿 Zephyr Partners opening a legalized cannabis industry career-training program

📢 I’m looking for business owners and marketers in Buffalo who want to build awareness, connect with customers and increase sales.

I have a limited number of sponsorships available to introduce our Buffalo Daily readers to local businesses they need to know about. If that’s you, then I invite you to learn more and secure your spot now.

Here are top stories today in Buffalo:

1. Zephyr Partners is planning to set up a career-training program in the former Albright-Knox space. The training space, which is in the Northland Corridor building, would teach potential hires about the legalized cannabis industry. For more information, visit The Buffalo News.
2. After stealing approximately $15,000 from Clarence youth baseball, East Amherst Coach Peter J. Pavlovich has been ordered community service. The sum money was collected between June 2017 and June 2020 through unauthorized ATM withdrawals and depositing player registration fees to his personal account. Learn more at WKBW 7.
3. An early morning car crash has left four teenagers dead. The accident happened where the 33 Expressway and Route 198 meet. The 16-year-old driver has been released from ECMC into BPD custody. Visit Spectrum Local News for more information.
4. Clarence Hollow's first brewery, Shalooby Loofer Brewing, is under development. The brewery, a startup by Williamsville resident Eon Verral, will start as a one-barrel brewing system and hopefully grow with business. Read more at WGRZ 2.
5. Early morning Riley Street fire, started in residential building's basement, is being investigated. It caused $260,000 of damage and two adults and one child needed assistance by The Red Cross. Learn more via WIVB 4.
