Rochester Projects Moving Forward

Rochester, New York, RC

In one successful Rochester rehabilitation project, a Popeye's Famous Fried Chicken franchise in the RC was in need of extensive rehabilitation and received a 2003 CRD allocation of $237,691. The owner, Northeast Fast Foods, would probably not have been able to afford the necessary work without that assistance.  Popeye’s continues to do well and enjoys street construction completed in 2007. Traffic is good and, at times, lines form back to the street of customers eager to place their food orders.
