On March 14th, 2022, standing outside the former Synagogue on Joseph Avenue, a crumbling Rochester landmark, U.S. Senate Majority Leader Charles E. Schumer announced that following his tirelessly advocacy he has secured over $200 million for the Rochester-Finger Lakes region through the bipartisan omnibus spending package for Fiscal Year 2022 for funding cutting edge research and dozens of community led projects, including significant funding secured in conjunction with Representative Joe Morelle. During his visit, Schumer revealed two long held community priorities that now thanks to his backing, will finally be able to come to fruition: the Ibero-American Development Corporation (IADC) Equitable Home Ownership Program and the Joseph Avenue Arts & Cultural Alliance’s Center for Performing and Visual Arts. The senator said that these projects will help revitalize one of Rochester’s most underserved neighborhoods and help reverse decades of disinvestment by spurring economic growth in these communities.
