Unique Project Overcomes Complicated Requirements to Achieve LEED Gold
Rochester’s Cornerstone Group, Ltd. (RCG) and PathStone Corporation, developers in Rochester, N.Y., always dreamed of doing a project together \u2014 one that would be special, break the typical mold, and become a forward-thinking model.
After reviewing the communities’ housing needs, the two corporations created a plan for a building that combined the New York State Homes and Community Renewal (NYSHCR) 9 percent tax credit program and the Department of Health’s (DOH) licensed Enriched Housing Program for frail seniors - the first of its kind in New York State. The project was designed to comply with the Governor’s Medicaid Redesign Team, a program that aims to achieve measurable improvement in health outcomes, sustainable cost control, and a more efficient administrative structure.
