12 noon: Charlotte development

1pm: Employment for the disabled

At noon, the city of Rochester has chosen the larger of two design options for a new development in Charlotte. The port will get a new look, and it's been heavily debated. Did the city do enough to make sure businesses and residents are happy? What should the waterfront look like? What becomes of the old ferry terminal? We hear from the city, the business owners, and we'll explore what's next. 

At 1pm, the employment rate for people with disabilities is 20%. That's it. But for those who are part of Project SEARCH, it's 87%. How does it work? Who is benefiting? We'll meet some success stories and learn how local businesses can get involved.
