BUFFALO, N.Y. (WIVB) — Wednesday at the Burchfield Penney Art Center, the City of Buffalo will hold a public hearing on the Common Council’s proposed map for redistricting.
It’s taking place from 10 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.

Last month, the Common Council voted in favor of it, but it hasn’t received universal support. Some residents think it does not represent the city’s population as best as it could.
