A new group of seven historic figures — including Russell Salvatore — has been selected for the Western New York Business Hall of Fame. The new honorees will be inducted at a Nov. 1 ceremony at the Buffalo History Museum. Profiles of all seven are being posted this week on Business First’s website.

The total membership of the Business Hall of Fame is now 22, including the 15 inaugural honorees who were inducted in November 2017. The museum hosts the Western New York Business Hall of Fame as a permanent exhibit. Founding sponsors of the Hall of Fame are Evans Bank, Freed Maxick CPAs, Hodgson Russ LLP, Walsh Duffield Cos. Inc., the Buffalo History Museum and Buffalo Business First.
