CHESAPEAKE, Va. - Buffalow Family and Friends, Inc. is holding a grand opening celebration and ribbon cutting for their new Buffalow Family And Friends Multipurpose Center in Chesapeake.

“We’re looking forward to serving our Chesapeake community, especially the residents and businesses of South Norfolk. With the addition of the new Multipurpose Center, we can expand our efforts to include more community partners and workshops to address all factors of health and wellbeing of our residents,” said The Buffalow Family in a Facebook post about the ceremony.
The remodeled center is an 8,000 square foot complex which includes a conference room, private meeting spaces, a multimedia projection room, and several small offices. It also features a spacious area in the back of the building that is available for exhibits, receptions, large private and public gatherings year-round.
