Howard Zemsky, principal in Larkin Development Group, testified before Congress yesterday, bringing the success story of the Larkin Terminal Warehouse conversion to a nationwide audience.

Businessman boosts renewal program: Larkin project proves it works, Zemsky says.
By Jerry Zremski
WASHINGTON – Buffalo businessman Howard Zemsky told a House subcommittee Wednesday that the building his company renovated just east of downtown is proof that the federal Renewal Communities program is working.
“Today our Larkin at Exchange building is home to approximately 2,000 employees working for over 30 companies and organizations,” Zemsky, managing partner of Larkin Development, told the House Ways and Means subcommittee on select revenue measures. “The federal government’s investment, coupled with our own private investment, has resulted in a re-emerging and reinvigorated neighborhood, which was the goal of the renewal community program,” he added.
