Great day on the water touring Long Island’s South Shore Estuary Reserve. Improved water quality is a key ingredient to healthy habitats and thriving wildlife. Working alongside our partners @NYSDEC & @GovKathyHochul we are protecting this vital resource for future generations.

We just cut the ribbon on Harper’s Corner in downtown Rochester alongside our partners at @nyshcr ✂️🏢 What was once a long-vacant corner has been transformed into workforce housing, affordable commercial space, and new opportunities for local entrepreneurs and small businesses.

What was once an aging, forgotten playground is now a vibrant, ADA-compliant space where every child can play, families can gather, and the community can connect from the playground to the trails to the waterfront. A beautiful new chapter for Penn Yan. 🛝
