Democratic council candidates sound off on 'two-project solution' for the Falls
The six candidates running in this year's Democratic primary for Niagara Falls City Council have mixed opinions on whether the city would benefit from the so-called 'two-project solution' involving Mayor Robert Restaino's proposed $200 million Centennial Park project and Niagara Falls Redevelopment's plans for a $1.5 billion data center. Niagara Falls Democratic City Council candidates' forum This event was brought to you by the Niagara Gazette and the Niagara Falls NAACP. During a candidates' forum on Tuesday at Bloneva Bond Elementary School, several candidates said they have a wait-and-see approach when it comes to both projects and that they would need more information before they could fully endorse either one. Their comments came a day before Restaino announced that he's holding a press conference today where he is expected to announce more details about the Centennial Park feasibility study, a document several council candidates said they like to see before deciding whether they could endorse the project. During Tuesday's forum, candidates were asked questions by representatives from the event's two sponsors, the Niagara Gazette and the Niagara Falls chapter of the NAACP. The candidates' positions on the events center and the data center are summarized below based on the order in which they were asked to respond. Former city employee Bridgette Myles said she's open to either project or both, mainly because she believes the Falls needs development and job creation. While noting that NFR has failed to deliver on many of its development promises over the years, she said it would be 'awesome' if they actually moved forward with the data center, which the company claims would create hundreds of jobs. Myles said she also believes Centennial Park would be a benefit to the community. 'Any type of development for Niagara Falls is going to be a win,' she said. Michia Lee, a first-time candidate for public office, said doesn't like the Centennial Park concept and believes the data center has more potential to create jobs city residents need. 'I think one would be an asset and one would be a liability,' she said. John Kinney, who worked for the city for 35 years, including most recently as a director of the Department of Public Works under Restaino, said in light of NFR's many empty promises over the years, he questions whether the data center will ever materialize. He referenced a years-old NFR plan to build a $200 million hotel on the site of the former Native American Center for the Living Arts on Rainbow Boulevard. The plan was presented to the city in 2017 but never happened. 'They have promised to build many things many times. Ask them about the hotel at the Turtle. It's not there,' Kinney said. Kinney argued that Restaino's events center has a much better chance to produce benefits for the city. 'The event center is going to keep us year-round in the tourism industry,' Kinney said. Without being able to see the city's feasibility study for the project, candidate Sylvana Rahman said her stance on Centennial Park is a 'no.' 'I really can't vote open something that I'm not getting the full picture of,' she said. She also questioned the cost of the project and who was going to pay for it. 'There would be $200 million coming out of whose pocket?' she said. 'Whose pocket would it be coming out of?' Rahman favors the data center because she believes the project would provide more of what the city desperately needs, and that's quality jobs for its residents. 'The data center will bring hundreds of jobs and opportunities to Niagara Falls,' she said. For the city to be successful, local realtor Noah Munoz said it must embrace reinvention on multiple fronts. He also declined to fully commit to supporting Centennial Park without seeing the results of the feasibility study first and questioned the legitimacy of the data center given NFR's track record in the Falls. 'NFR has made many promises and they have made many many deals with many mayors and they have not come true,' he said. Incumbent Councilman Donta Myles has opposed any city investment in Restaino's arena since the project was first announced in 2021. During Tuesday's forum, he said his stance has not changed because little has changed about one his main concerns — the source of funding for the $200 million project. 'I've been about 'show me the money',' he said. 'I've asked very detailed questions. I would ask $200 million, where's that coming from? Do you have any public or private sector investment? Who's going to pay that $200 million? That's us, pretty much.' Donta Myles said he's also worried that a city-built arena won't be able to compete with other entertainment venues across the region, citing KeyBank Center in Buffalo, Artpark in Lewiston and the Seneca Niagara Casino in the Falls as examples. 'How are we competing with them?' he said. The six candidates are vying for three open slots as the Democratic council candidates who will appear on the ballot for the November general election. The three top vote-getters in the primary will face three Republican candidates, including incumbent Councilman David Zajac, former Falls lawmaker Vincent Cauley and political newcomer Tanya Barone in the general election. Former Falls Councilman John Accardo has also qualified to appear on the general election ballot for city council as a Conservative Party candidate. Residents who are registered as Democrats in the City of Niagara Falls are eligible to vote in the Democratic primary. Early voting is now open. Primary election day is Tuesday.

Cathie Wood Just Bought 3,433,807 Shares of Archer Aviation Stock. Does She Know Something Wall Street Doesn't?
Shares of Archer Aviation recently sold off in a material way, despite a lack of poor news surrounding the company. Cathie Wood of Ark Invest scooped up over 3 million shares during Archer's sell-off. Archer has a number of strategic operations underway, making the timing of Wood's purchase all the more interesting. 10 stocks we like better than Archer Aviation › In recent years, some growth investors have taken a keen interest in electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft stocks. One of the favorites among retail and institutional investors alike is Archer Aviation (NYSE: ACHR), whose electric air taxis are promising to revolutionize the mobility industry. Archer is currently the 11th-largest position across Ark Invest's portfolio, which is managed by popular tech investor Cathie Wood. On June 13, shares of Archer plummeted by 14%. Despite such a precipitous drop, Wood flew in and scooped up 3,433,807 shares across her exchange-traded funds (ETF). Does Wood know something Wall Street doesn't about Archer? Let's dig in and explore what may have caused Archer shares to drop in the first place. From there, investors may have a better idea of what influenced Wood to buy the dip in Archer stock recently. As the graph below illustrates, Archer stock began selling off right out of the gate following the opening bell on June 13. But why? Well, after taking a look at the company's most recent filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), I think I have the answer. In its recent 8-K filing, Archer disclosed that it entered into a securities purchase agreement and issued 85 million shares at a fixed price of $10. Essentially, Archer sold stock at a fixed price in an effort to raise capital. While such a move is a quick way for companies to raise cash, issuing stock is also dilutive to shareholders -- hence, the share price dropped. On the surface, it might seem that Wood simply pounced on Archer's depressed price action. However, after exploring further notes in the company's filings, I think there might be more to the picture. Archer stated that it will be using the proceeds of the stock sale for "the development of necessary commercial capabilities, including infrastructure, to support our Launch Edition program; our planned U.S. commercial launch, including our new strategic partnership as the official air taxi provider for the 2028 Olympics in LA; and the development of an AI-based aviation software platform, and the remainder for general corporate purposes." There is a lot to unpack there. First, the company's mention of an artificial intelligence (AI) aviation software platform is a reference to Archer's partnership with Palantir. This is important because it underscores Archer's commitment to transform the air mobility market -- from developing new vehicle types to next-generation aviation software platforms. In addition, raising cash now could suggest that Archer is closer to a commercial launch than some investors may realize. Taking this a step further, recent administrative actions from the president could be a tailwind for Archer as it seeks FAA approval and makes good on its position to be a transportation provider during the 2028 Olympics. Given Wood has been a longtime Archer bull, I think the savvy investor is well aware of these various initiatives and decided to double down on Ark's position during the recent sell-off. One on hand, I'm encouraged that the recent sell-off in Archer stock wasn't due to a poor earnings report or some sort of unexpected operational setback at the company. Rather, the capital raise was a planned event and shares slid over the dilution. At the same time, though, I still see Archer as a speculative stock to own right now. I find the company's various projects intriguing, to say the least. But until Archer is manufacturing aircraft at scale and generating consistent revenue and profits across its various applications, I'm hard-pressed to own the stock myself.
