BUFFALO (WNE) — In 2022, Buffalo will be featured on the new HGTV makeover series “Home Town Kickstart.”
The show is a spinoff of two other HGTV series — “Home Town” and “Home Town Takeover” — both starring Ben and Erin Napier. “Home Town,” a show about the Napiers’ renovations of homes in their hometown of Laurel, Mississippi, began in 2016.
Home Town Kickstart will feature the hosts of other HGTV shows, including the Napiers, who will visit six “quintessential small towns” and give them “a major boost to reenergize their revitalization efforts and realize a much-needed fresh start,” according to a press release from HGTV.
Within each community, the show will select a public space, a small business and the home of a “local hero” to remodel. The show is set to debut next spring.
Mayor Shane Schrader said HGTV producers recently contacted the city to discuss what public spaces could be updated, and the city’s ice rink came up as a possibility.
Show details have not been announced, but Schrader said he thinks it will be a boon for tourism in the area.
