Senator Schumer announces $100M federal grant for Rochester's highway-to-street grid transformation.

Senator Chuck Schumer announced a $100 million federal grant for Rochester's Inner Loop North Transformation Project, aiming to revitalize downtown Rochester by replacing a 1.5-mile highway segment with an urban street grid. Funded through the Reconnecting Communities Program, the project seeks to create new developable land, green spaces, and improve neighborhood connectivity, fostering economic growth and adding construction jobs. The city still needs to secure an additional $23 million for the $223 million project, set to start in 2027.
