The Erie County Harbor Development Board met on Wednesday to discuss plans for a new Explore and More Children's Museum with a new location.

Robert Gioia, Chairman of the Board, discussed the newest location for the museum, which will include a free-standing building in the South Aud block of Canalside. The building will have four floors, with eight unique play zones that tell the story of Buffalo's history. The ECHDC will invest $9 million into the building and will hold a 40-year lease on the building.

Construction will begin in 2016 and the museum is expected to open in 2018.
