Can The State Help Rochester Recover?
Saturday, Sept. 30, noon
RIT’s Golisano Auditorium
How Can Rochester Recover from Downsizing at the Big Three?
Rochester's economic situation -- and what New York State can do to improve it -- will be the subject of a public forum bringing together concerned citizens, expert panelists and decision-makers.
Participants include:
The forum is aimed at promoting a productive dialogue about the area's economy and generating feasible solutions for voters and candidates to consider heading into this year's elections. Panelists will respond to questions and comments generated by citizen focus groups to be held prior to the event.
The forum is one in a series happening across the state as part of the “New York Matters” project organized by the Center for Governmental Research in Rochester.
About New York Matters: The project is aimed at promoting debate among the candidates and throughout the state on the key issues as New York elects its first new governor in 12 years. This civic engagement effort is supported by a number of organizations devoted to improving the public dialogue in New York; they include the Rauch Foundation, the Long Island Community Foundation, the Central New York Community Foundation, the Community Foundation for Greater Buffalo, the New York Community Trust, the Rochester Area Community Foundation and the Triad Foundation.
