Summary
City committees voted to authorize loan agreements for the Cadillac Hotel rehabilitation, a zoning map amendment in the Northeast District and several grant applications, and city staff described the projects’ scope and funding at the meeting.
Rochester City Council committees on Oct. 16 approved a series of measures to advance multiple affordable‑housing projects, including loan authorization for the Cadillac Hotel rehabilitation, a zoning‑map change in the Northeast District and several state grant applications.
City staff told the Neighborhood, Jobs and Housing Committee that the larger redevelopment tied to the items is a roughly $38 million project and that the city’s contribution is “closer to $4,000,000,” while a transmittal in committee materials lists $3.3 million.
