Dana K. Miller

We are experiencing unprecedented levels of new economic development in our City. The resurgence of downtown has created ample reason to be optimistic about Rochester’s future. 

We also have a unique opportunity to increase the economic landscape and improve the quality of life within our neighborhoods.  

Successfully capitalizing these opportunities requires innovative approaches that leverage our resources to benefit as many of our residents and businesses as possible. 

If there ever was a time to contribute to the vitality of Rochester, that time is now. I encourage you to invest in our City’s future – be it your time, talent, or treasure – and help us make Rochester one of the best mid-sized cities to live, work, and play.
