  • Quarantine Information for Simon Graduate Students
    Quarantine Information for Simon Graduate Students What is quarantine? Quarantine means staying in your house for the duration of a 14-day incubation period and monitoring yourself for any potential signs of infection. Quarantining means that you can’t go out—not to work, school, or public places. While it is vital to keep in touch with friends, significant others, and family via phone or text, it is not possible to spend any time with them during the 14 days. Who must quarantine? All graduate students arriving from hot spot states or from an international location should plan to quarantine for 14 days in their graduate housing space or their off-campus residence. Quarantine must be completed prior to coming on campus for any reasons. Please see the list of restricted states for a current list of the states designated as COVID-19 hot spots. Students traveling from these states will be required to quarantine for 14 days. Students arriving from international locations also are required to quarantine for 14 days, per CDC guidance. Students from states designated as hot spots who plan to arrive on campus for the start of the semester may quarantine on their own in the tri-state area (New York, New Jersey, Connecticut) or in any state not on the NYS list of restricted states for 14 days prior to their scheduled move-in date. When should I arrive in Rochester if I need to do a 14-day quarantine? If you wish to participate in person for Welcome Week starting August 17, you should start your quarantine by August 2.

  • 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.

  • 2015 Annual Report
    Photo: James Montanus 2015 ANNUAL REPORT Dear Friends, Our logo includes the tag line LIMITLESS, and we believe 2016 continues to illustrate that there is no limit when we work together promoting our region. Our dedicated team of employees has worked year-long to leverage our partnerships with each member, promoting our region and ensuring every visitor to our community returns. We measure success in many ways, but most importantly by the successes of our partners. This year we have many! Tourism spending in Monroe County totaled more than $1 billion in economic impact for the second year in a row. This influx of revenue to our community generated $76.1 million in local taxes and directly supported more than 13,000 jobs. The impact of tourism spending grew to $2.9 billion in 2015 across the 14 county Finger Lakes vacation region last year. The partnership between Visit Rochester and Monroe County Sports Commission continues to identify efficiencies while growing our ability to sell Monroe County as a premier destination for sporting events. Our festival partners the Xerox Rochester International Jazz Festival and the (newly-renamed) KeyBank Rochester Fringe Festival each enjoyed record attendance this year, and the Rochester Lilac Festival saw 500,000 attendees pass through Highland Park. 26 partners joined Visit Rochester and New York State in 2016 through the Cross Border Showcase (formerly “A Welcome Surprise!”) initiative targeting the Canadian tourism market. The program intends to attract 40,000 Canadian tourists to the Finger Lakes and Central New York by the end of 2017 with direct expenditures estimated at over $20 million.
