By July 2022, the DRI Local Planning Committee will develop a $10 million Strategic Investment Plan for Downtown Rochester between Main Street, Franklin Street, Andrews Street, and the Genesee River. This plan will examine local assets and opportunities and recommend a series of economic development, transportation, housing, and community projects for DRI funding. These projects must be poised for implementation and help achieve the community's vision for downtown revitalization.
