Beam Admin Message, 

 

Dear CMRC Friends,

Take the following links to view:

 

Also attached is a list of significant community reports and news. In particular, I'd like to call your attention to Mayor Kim Norton's Vision 2050 call for input message. Please take a couple of minutes to provide you inputs to what you would like Rochester to be in 2050. 

 

Regards, 

Al Lun
