A Message From
Mayor Lovely Warren
Welcome to Jumpstarting ROC! This site will keep you up-to-date on the many actions that the City of Rochester is taking to respond to impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic – our immediate Response, how we will contribute to Recovery, and strategies to ensure our community’s long-term Resiliency. You’ll also find valuable Resources for businesses and links to information for residents.
While the Federal, State, and County governments have a substantial role to play to assist businesses during this crisis, I want you to have full confidence that the City of Rochester is also rising to the occasion and coordinating daily with those partners. And that we’re taking additional steps to add to their support. My administration, in solidarity with City Council, commits to you that through compassion, diligence, and innovative solutions, we will emerge from this crisis as a more connected and resilient community. Together, we will get through this pandemic, protect our circles, and Jumpstart Rochester!
