\nOn December 10,2012 Schumer launched his two-pronged plan to help revitalize dozens of Rochester landmarks, such as the Eastman Dental Dispensary, Sibley Building, Cox Building, and others, by encouraging developers to renovate these underutilized historic buildings. Following a tour of the Academy Building on S. Fitzhugh Street with local developers, Schumer announced his proposal to extend the New Markets Tax Credit, set to expire at years end, and his support of the Creating American Prosperity Through Preservation (CAPP) Act. Schumer's proposal would help harness the huge revenue-generating potential of Rochester's renowned historic buildings, and keep the recent progress of downtown's revival moving forward.
