On Friday, September 9th, Senator Robach had the opportunity to attend, and speak at, the Mildred Johnson Estates Phase II ribbon cutting ceremony. The event celebrated the new construction of 21 3-bedroom, single family homes on formerly vacant lots owned by the City of Rochester. Phase II is modeled on the success of Mildred Johnson Estates Phase I, which included 23 single family homes and was completed in 2008. All of the 21 new homes will be affordable to families earning 50% or less of the area median income. Together, Phase I and Phase II represent a 10 million dollar investment in the neighborhood.
Mildred Johnson Estates II also includes a community building that will house a PathStone property manager, community meeting space and conference rooms. All units are handicapped accessible, and have been designed to meet the New York State Green Building Initiative and are NYSERDA Energy Start certified.
