With the picturesque waters of Canandaigua Lake at his back, on April 14th, 2022, U.S. Senate Majority Leader Charles E. Schumer revealed his new Rural Outdoor Investment (ROI) Act to boost outdoor recreation in places like the Finger Lakes, support Main Street businesses, revitalize Upstate New York’s rural downtowns, and accelerate the region’s economic recovery. Flanked by community leaders and outdoor enthusiasts, Schumer explained that the pandemic spurred newfound demand for outdoor recreation and that this creates a unique opportunity for the federal government to invest in local economies, like those in small rural Finger Lakes areas, by investing in their natural outdoor resources to create jobs and new economic growth.
