WSU-Rochester is a proud partner supporting RDAs work of elevating the downtown business district!

The Rochester business community met today to hear about RDA’s work and dedication to Rochester‘s downtown vibrancy through marketing, events, and programs. All these efforts enhance the pedestrian experience in our shared public spaces in Rochester. Also heard from the City of Rochester an update on the BRT link (electric bus fleet) with expected ridership of 10,000 people per day by next summer!
Also more@ information regarding work being done to support people experiencing homelessness through the “any path home“ program.
