Plans to build a $1.4-billion football stadium for the NFL’s Buffalo Bills in Orchard Park, N.Y., are advancing toward a groundbreaking this year.
The project team, led by a joint venture of Gilbane Building Co. and Turner Construction Co. with 34 Group, project manager Legends Development Group and designer Populous, posted on March 16 the latest group of bid packages soliciting work for the project. A day earlier, the Erie County Stadium Corp., part of Empire State Development, approved the general project plan and lease agreements for the property.
