Planning Toolkits

As preliminary plans for Destination Medical Center come into focus, many in Rochester are asking "What about my neighborhood?" They want to know what plans for Rochester's downtown core will mean for the rest of the city. That's where the ongoing citywide comprehensive planning effort comes into play. Looking to develop a plan to guide changes in the city during the next 25 years, planners are researching how the city has changed in recent decades and trying to determine what it can expect in decades to come.

About Beam
  • For the commercial sector, we tend to register startup activities (new companies and new commercial projects) that bring diversification and high-impact opportunities to the area.
  • For the non-profit sector, we wish to shine light on all the organizations and services that otherwise labor under relative obscurity.
  • Our hope is that dmcbeam.org will encourage cross-sector collaborations and creative solutions.

While there are a number of registries in the community, dmcbeam.org's  distinct value is to pilot a database with a data structure and categorizations that answer the questions such as: What organizations or projects/programs in our community that have purported relevance with some of the over-arching focuses put forward by initiatives such as DMC, J2G and Health Improvements?

This database could be used as one of the ways to explore the capacities of the community. If you are someone on an exploratory journey to learn about the greater Rochester community. dmcbeam.org could be an interesting first step.
