As part of the New York Fed’s efforts to understand economic conditions throughout the Federal Reserve’s Second District, the Community Development team meets with local leaders to hear about the economic experiences of low- and moderate-income communities. During a June visit to Rochester and Buffalo, a few themes emerged: housing challenges, the possibilities of AI, and workforce shortages. Leaders also spoke about challenges for community-based organizations.
