LOCKPORT — Although the time hasn't come for the Niagara County Legislature to vote on a deal to locate a culinary arts center in Niagara Falls, legislators were assured Tuesday that the county won't have to come up with any more money.

Niagara County Community College President James P. Klyczek said the only commitment the county needs to make is the $1.5 million it pledged to the project two years ago.

At the time, the county pledged the money for construction of NCCC's culinary center in the Crowne Plaza Hotel. Now the plan has shifted to the vacant former Rainbow Centre Mall.
