On the Road Again: Syracuse, Ithaca, and Rochester Aim for a More Inclusive Economy
For our third regional visit of the year, we traveled to Syracuse, Ithaca, and Rochester. The stops on our trip varied widely — from visiting a drone accelerator site, to meeting with members working on an anti-poverty initiative. Throughout, we heard from community leaders about their efforts to address challenges, such as developing a strong workforce and tackling poverty. We also learned about the promising industries in their communities and their hopes for future growth.

CoDeFi: Our Efforts to Transform Communities
Promoting community development is an important function of the Federal Reserve System. Through a variety of programming and analysis, the New York Fed seeks to help advance economic mobility and resiliency of communities across the Second District. As part of that effort, we encourage capital providers to allocate funding to innovative, measurable, and impactful projects. This year, we’ve taken steps to formalize our work and create a new team in the Outreach & Education function focused on this space by launching the Community Development Finance initiative (CoDeFi).

Over the River and Through the Adirondacks: What We Learned in New York’s North Country Region
For our second regional visit of the year, we ventured about as far north as you can go in New York State, spending two days in June in the North Country region, where President Dudley and members of our staff visited Plattsburgh, Potsdam, and Fort Drum, in Jefferson County near Watertown. The local leaders we met with told us about successes and challenges alike, including the significance of having Canada as a close neighbor; concerns related to workforce development, demographics, and access to broadband; why collaboration matters for regional businesses and institutions; and how Watertown has a unique relationship with Fort Drum, a major military installation in the area.
