2025 RRP Summit brings together Buffalo, Niagara Falls, Rochester

OneROC was honored to participate in the 2025 RRP Summit in December, held at the Niagara Falls Convention Center in Niagara Falls, NY. Leaders and funders from the economic development community in Buffalo, Niagara Falls, and Rochester came together to advance community wealth-building, commercial corridors, placemaking, and workforce development as part of this $300M public-private partnership.

Rochester’s RRP presenters included Davis Craig, Connected Communities (The Greenwood Project), Dave Seeley, RochesterWorks (Downtown Career Center, School2Work Navigators), and David Riley, City of Rochester (ROC the Riverway).

In Rochester, OneROC serves as the regional intermediary for the Regional Revitalization Partnership, coordinating investments and projects alongside project leads across the portfolio, and serving as the project lead for West Main Gateway.

The RRP was developed in collaboration with New York State Governor Kathy Hochul and Empire State Development (ESD) and is supported by ESL, Max and Marian Farash Charitable Foundation, Five Star Bank, KeyBank/First Niagara Foundation, William & Sheila Konar Foundation, M&T Bank, NBT Bank, The John R. Oishei Foundation, Ralph C. Wilson, Jr. Foundation, and partners in the cities of Buffalo, Niagara Falls, and Rochester. RRP program implementation is led by the Center for Regional Strategies.
