From the ill-advised, shambling project that won’t die:

County Will Seek Ren Square Money from Federal Package
Rachel Ward

ROCHESTER, NY (2009-01-05) As municipalities around the country queue up for federal aid doled out under an Obama administration stimulus package, Monroe County is also outlining its request.

Noah Lebowitz, the spokesperson for the county, says local officials are working with Governor David Paterson to find federal economic stimulus package money for the Renaissance Square project.

Monroe County says its priorities for federal funding are transportation, education and other infrastructure needs - and that Renaissance Square is one of those priorities.

I’m so glad Maggie’s Fast Ferry is one of our priorities.
