The city of Rochester on Monday backed two affordable housing projects — more than 200 total units — by providing $1.5 million in tax increment financing assistance to the developer.

Rochester developer Joe Weis and associates were behind both projects, the 68-unit First Avenue Flats and the 139-unit senior affordable housing Valleyhigh Villas.

The Rochester City Council went above the city staff's recommendation to support First Avenue Flats with a development assistance agreement for the full amount requested by the developer, $435,421.

 

Is this really affordable?

About Beam

Community Beam (dmcbeam.org) is a registry of private and public resources (organizations, projects, initiatives, programs) that underpin economic and social developments of greater Rochester:

  • For the commercial sector, we tend to register startup activities (new companies and new commercial projects) that bring diversification and high-impact opportunities to the area.
  • For the non-profit sector, we wish to shine light on all the organizations and services that otherwise labor under relative obscurity.
  • Our hope is that dmcbeam.org will encourage cross-sector collaborations and creative solutions.

While there are a number of registries in the community, dmcbeam.org's  distinct value is to pilot a database with a data structure and categorizations that answer the questions such as: What organizations or projects/programs in our community that have purported relevance with some of the over-arching focuses put forward by initiatives such as DMC, J2G and Health Improvements?

This database could be used as one of the ways to explore the capacities of the community. If you are someone on an exploratory journey to learn about the greater Rochester community. dmcbeam.org could be an interesting first step.
