The new web site is www.gatewayharbor.com and serves as a "One-Stop Guide" to current events, local attractions, restaurants, and entertainment in the Tonawandas.  The new web site also includes extensive web links to local businesses, services, and government offices.

LCDC Executive Director Jim Sullivan stated "In just a few short years, efforts by the LCDC, the Business Community, Chamber of Commerce, and our elected officials have rebuilt our historic downtown area into something we all can be very proud of.  The LCDC believes that we now have the critical mass of businesses and cultural attractions both in and near downtown to fully support large numbers of visitors.  With an active core of diverse and thriving businesses, it's time to introduce our restored, revitalized, and literally reinvented downtown to all of Western New York and beyond."

Douglas Taylor, LCDC Board Chairman stated "The North Tonawanda I remember as a child in the 1950's was a manufacturing center and we lived in a world with no interstate highways and not shopping malls.  The world has changed dramatically since then.  I believe that the changes brought about by the concerted efforts of the Lumber City Development Corporation have started the Tonawandas on the path to a new and vibrant future.  Much still needs to be done, but we've come a long way in just a few years."
