Dinolfo Announces Name for Zoo's New Snow Leopard Cub: Silver, in Honor of Silver Family
Tuesday, July 23, 2019 DINOLFO ANNOUNCES NAME FOR ZOO’S NEW SNOW LEOPARD CUB: SILVER, IN HONOR OF SILVER FAMILY Surprise announcement made at Seneca Park Zoo Night at Frontier Field; ‘Silver’ to make public debut at Zoo later this summer County Executive Cheryl Dinolfo today announced that the Zoo’s new snow leopard cub has been named Silver, in honor of the Silver family, who have operated the Rochester Red Wings since 1957. The name was revealed during a surprise announcement during Seneca Park Zoo Night at Frontier Field, prior to the Rochester Red Wings’ game against the Norfolk Tides. “I am so proud to announce that our Zoo’s adorable new snow leopard cub will be named ‘Silver’, in honor of one of Monroe County’s most beloved families,” said Dinolfo. “From Morrie and Anna to Naomi, the Silver family name is synonymous with excellence, kindness, and community engagement. In short, the Silvers are as much a part of Rochester as the Red Wings themselves, and there is no question that our new cub will have big ‘paws’ to fill with such a meaningful name. I thank Naomi, the Silvers, and the entire Red Wings organization for their contributions to our community and I welcome our residents to visit both our Seneca Park Zoo and Frontier Field this summer!” In 1957, Silver family patriarch Morrie Silver helped to save the future of baseball in Rochester, launching what became known as the “72 Day Miracle” that led to the founding of Rochester Community Baseball. Today, the Red Wings are the longest-running franchise in minor league sports and one of the few continuously community-owned professional teams in the country.

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.
