  • City of Rochester Name: Raul Salinas Downtown Name: Center City District County: Monroe
    Rochester, NY Submission to the Downtown Revitalization Initiative 6/10/2016 Executive Summary The revitalization of downtown Rochester must engage and retain young adults as residents who want to live and work in cities. A recent Urban Land Institute and National League of Cities supported a study of downtown Rochester, NY identified an immediate need to re-activate the Genesee Riverfront and Main Street to target diverse young adults and bring vibrancy to the fronts of downtown buildings. Critical to re-activating Rochester’s downtown is giving the job to rebuild it to the people who need the work the most. Thanks to the efforts of the Governor’s Rochester Anti-Poverty Task Force and the local Rochester Monroe Anti-Poverty Initiative (RMAPI), the anti-poverty program pilot area is adjacent to Rochester’s downtown district. The program will provide employment supports (e.g. daycare and transportation) to stabilize families and connect them to Rochester’s downtown success. Rochester’s downtown district, the Center City District (CCD), is experiencing dramatic residential growth. Developers partnered with government to create new living spaces within iconic buildings. Despite the 1.7 million people visiting the district annually and record investment in downtown growing high tech firms, retail and walkable amenities do not support 18 hours of activity. Foot traffic by young adults connecting downtown living and work will bridge the gap between living and work that exists in downtown Rochester, NY. Young adults are drawn to an iconic city and will create the demand for first floor retail that will give jobs and stabilize neighborhoods.

In support of this mission, the division for Economic Development and Innovative Workforce Services has spent the last year shifting its operational framework to a business to business (more commonly referred to as B2B) model. As part of that model, EDIWS has established a communication “channel” that can be characterized as both proactive and systemic in pursuing relationships with appropriate contacts within industry. This channel, referred to as the MCC Business and Industry Database, currently includes approximately 2,400 area businesses, and is made up of appropriate and qualified contacts at each targeted organization that have “opted-in” to receive select communications from the college including: grant participation; participating in credit and non-credit industry training opportunities; serving on advisory boards and focus groups; involvement in student work cooperatives; and staying informed of relevant industry career and technical programs available at the college from which to recruit their future workforce.
