Members of the Finger Lakes Regional Economic Development Council were featured speakers at a Rochester Downtown Development Corporation event Thursday.

Co-chairs of the council, Wegmans CEO Danny Wegman and University of Rochester president Joel Seligman, discussed funding initatives and upcoming development plans. Seligman also talked about how delays in state funding can effect job creation in the area.

"That's where the first 68.8 million dollars are helpful, and the I-390 project, and Eastman Business Park. We're focusing on job creation and we took seriously the Governor's assertion that the essence of strategic planning was jobs, jobs, jobs. That is what we focused on in our plan and in implementing of it that's utmost in our minds," said Seligman.

"This is the end of the first quarter in a four quarter game. We have a long way to go, and the Finger Lakes – Maggie Brooks, Tom Richards, Sandy Parker, led by Joel Seligman and Danny Wegman – they were superb. They did a marvelous job, and there's a long way to go," said Bob Duffy, (D), Lt. Governor and former Rochester mayor.

"The Governor's plan is a five year plan. The Governor's already asked for 200 million dollars more in funding this year for the economic development councils, So I would say at the end of four years to hear what people think about where we are," Duffy continued.

The $68 million was awarded to the Finger Lakes Regional Council for 93 projects. Four out of 10 regional councils were awarded $100 million each.

LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT

Dear Members and Guests,
 
It is with great pride, humility and privilege that I serve as your 2011 President of BOMA of Greater Rochester, a federated member of BOMA International consisting of more than 100 local associations and affiliated organizations with over 16,500-plus members that own, manage or service over nine billion square feet of commercial properties. BOMA International's mission is to enhance the human, intellectual and physical assets of the commercial real estate industry through advocacy, education, research standards and information.

BOMA of Greater Rochester's mission is to actively and responsibly represent the interests of the Greater Rochester commercial real estate industry, its owners, operators and vendors. This is to be accomplished through:

Effective leadership
Active community involvement
Foster business relationships through networking opportunities
Professional development and Advocacy

The BOMA of Greater Rochester chapter was founded in 1923 and has served the commercial real estate interests of the Greater Rochester region for over 87 years. Over the years we have evolved our association to provide the commercial real estate industry with information, guidance and expertise in matters that truly matter to our members. Annually we offer eleven networking meetings, educational/informational offerings, building tours and legislative advocacy opportunities.

Each of our meeting events are designed to provide a great networking environment, provide timely industry information and to raise funds and awareness for charitable organizations in need of funding or for in-kind service donations. We ask everyone to assist us in our goal of supporting the 2011 BOMA of Greater Rochester charity " Gilda's Club of Rochester". Gilda's Club provides a meeting place for men, women and children living with cancer, along with their family and friends. They join with others to build social and emotional support as a supplement to medical care.

I ask that everyone assist us in making YOUR association do what you want by getting involved as little or as much as you can. It's through our collaborative efforts that we can service the most number of members.

Respectfully, 
Scott A. Hill, CPM
