Yesterday was so incredibly exciting! We would like to extend a big THANK YOU to the @SusanBHouse CEO & President, Deborah Hughes as well as her staff, and our Lead Fan Owner, @docwilson13 for playing such influential roles in this club's launch!
@Scott60846117@GovKathyHochul At $600 per out-of-area visitor,
10,000 visitors = $6 MM/ yr. Investment returned in 2 yrs, even with our lowest attendance estimates. Our zip code is over 39% in poverty, one of the highest in the state; bringing tourism $ improves the local economy, adds jobs, quality of life.
@JTGibbons@GovKathyHochul Anthony never took a stand to criminalize abortion; it was legal much of her life. It's true she cited abortion as a symptom of societal ills (e.g. when a woman aborted because she couldn't feed a child, or because she had been raped). Anthony believed in sovereignty of self.
@Badgurl585@TheLizMac@GovKathyHochul Have you been to our neighborhood? We're in one of the 5 most impoverished zip codes in NY state. This is a rare, significant cultural investment in an undeserved community. It will have direct impact on our neighborhood economy and our community's quality of life.
@Badgurl585@GovKathyHochul Experiential education is powerful, and our children deserve more of it. We are only able to accommodate a fraction of the classes that want to come. This interpretive center will allow us to provide educational programs for all school groups that want to come.
@Geriatricwarri1@GovKathyHochul So far, we've raised $5.8 MM from private sources, and we'll be matching the state's contribution. This is a great strategy for the state to leverage a popular cultural asset to draw tourism dollars, without taking on the responsibility or burden of future operating costs.
@JBrennan861@GovKathyHochul Encouraging foot traffic and adding vibrant cultural centers to our urban neighborhoods is a proven way to inhibit crime, build social capital, and increase the perception of safety.
@OmegaBlonde@GovKathyHochul 2. The average out-of-town tourist brings $600 into our local economy; this investment by the state will pay for itself in 1-2 yrs, and 3. Every neighbor receives a complementary membership, so this educational, community asset will enhance the quality of life for neighbors.
@OmegaBlonde@GovKathyHochul We understand, and agree with your priorities. The new interpretive center will be built at the apex of Brown St and Jefferson Ave. Here are 3 reasons why this community investment makes sense: 1. This is one of the most impoverished zip codes in NY state, and
Highlights from @GovKathyHochul's announcement in #ROC yesterday about proposed investments in Monroe County & the #FLX region
🔷 New advanced technology center at @MonroeCC
🔷 Repairs on 490 & Route 104

Happy Birthday to Susan B. Anthony, champion of human rights and women's suffrage. The $10M investment to expand the @SusanBHouse honors her legacy and I'm thrilled to see the President and CEO of @SusanBHouse transform this historic home in #ROC.
