On April 25, 2016, U.S. Senator Charles E. Schumer participated in a historic ribbon cutting, which symbolized the official opening of Rochester Institute of Technology’s (RIT) brand new Center for Urban Entrepreneurship (CUE) business incubator at the redeveloped historic former Rochester Savings Bank building. Schumer said the creation of the CUE marks the return of RIT to the City of Rochester, and will be transformative for the entire area and regional economy. Schumer has long fought to make this center a reality, and helped secure the federal funding needed to make this renovation possible. Schumer helped secure the initial $1.5 million in federal Economic Development Administration (EDA) funds that enabled the renovation and rehab of the historic Rochester Savings Bank building that made this project possible.
