Imagine a community where dollars circulate 19 to 30 times before leaving the neighborhood, just like in the famed Black Wall Street of Tulsa, OK. That’s the vision behind the Greenwood Project in Rochester, NY.

In the latest episode of Accelerate Greater, OneROC VP of Innovation Shannon Ealy sits down with Dr. LaShunda Leslie-Smith, Davis Craig, and Atashia Sinkler from Connected Communities to share how they’re bringing that vision to life in Rochester’s EMMA and Beechwood neighborhoods through the Neighborhood Hub, Connect Lab, and so much more.

Supported by the Regional Revitalization Partnership, with OneROC serving as regional intermediary, Connected Communities is building a resident-led model for neighborhood revitalization that shows exactly what it means to accelerate greater.
