Renew Ideas

Renew Rochester is an initiative committed to enhancing the quality of life in Rochester, NY, by focusing on long-term investments in public amenities and infrastructure. This plan includes a $205 million project to address various community needs, such as economic vitality, housing and workforce development, flood control, and a regional sports and recreation complex.

For over 40 years, residents have supported local funding through a half-percent sales tax, enabling significant public investments that benefit education, senior living, and public safety. On November 7, 2023, Rochester voters chose to renew this sales tax to continue supporting vital community projects prioritized by local residents.
