ALBANY, N.Y. — Gov. Kathy Hochul Tuesday unveiled her plan for the next state budget, totaling more than $260 billion. This marks an increase of nearly $2 billion from the previous year’s budget.
The plan allocates $300 million specifically for Monroe County and the city of Rochester.
“A budget is much more than figures on a page. It’s a statement of priorities, a test of discipline, and this year with so much uncertainty coming out of Washington, it must be a plan that can hold up to pressure,” Hochul said.
Of the $300 million, $225 million is earmarked for the “Rochester-Monroe Transformation Initiative.” The remaining $75 million will fund ongoing renovations at High Falls State Park.
Rochester Mayor Malik Evans and Monroe County Executive Adam Bello released a joint statement saying the funds will “help drive job creation, support and attract local businesses, cultivate innovative economic development projects, and strengthen key industries” in the region.
Senate Republican Leader Rob Ortt criticized the budget, saying, “Instead of offering a fiscally responsible budget to provide relief to New Yorkers struggling with an affordability crisis, the bloated $260 billion plan is a continuation of the policies that have made New York the most unaffordable state in the nation.”
