Mr. Ciminelli's brother, Paul Ciminelli, who leads
a separate real estate development firm, has also capitalized on the Buffalo Billion gold rush.
The companies, according to a source and to companies that have acknowledged
separate subpoenas, include: six full - service
development and
real estate companies, three
real estate firms, three engineering / architecture
firms, two manufacturers, two lobbying
firms, a power - plant company, a construction
firm and a cellphone tower / communications company.
This time I also requested records documenting the selection of LP Ciminelli and Ciminelli
Real Estate —
separate companies owned by brothers — to build space at the Conventus Building on the Buffalo Niagara Medical Campus to accommodate AMRI, a drug research and
development firm recruited with $ 50 million in Buffalo Billion money.
