Los Flamboyanes polling site relocated to Salvation Army
ROCHESTER, N.Y. (WROC) — The polling site at Los Flamboyanes has found an alternative location after being closed due to construction. In a press conference held by Monroe County Vice President and Legislator Mercedes Vazquez Simmons on Tuesday, it was announced that voters who previously used the site formerly located at 100 Boriquen Plaza in Rochester will now be able to vote at the Salvation Army located at 915 North Clinton Avenue. The Los Flamboyanes Apartment location stood as one of the city's largest and most historic polling sites, serving District 22 and the 14605 zip code. It is also known for the largest population of Black and Latino voters. The alternative site stays within the area for an easy transition. 'The goal was to provide residents with a location they were familiar with, within close proximity to their prior polling site due to lack of transportation for many, and to make certain it is easily accessible to our aging population,' Vazquez Simmons said. Arc of Monroe event makes voter registration accessible She is encouraging Monroe County to notify residents and advertise poll site changes in advance, as many voters are left unaware of the changes and their impact on Election Day. 'I understand the polling site closure is due to construction, but the lack of communication about the poll closure is concerning. Once again, voters were not made aware of this change in a timely fashion, which would create confusion and ultimately deny many the right to vote on Election Day,' Vazquez Simmons said in a statement. The local primary election is scheduled for June 24. When voting, residents can expect to report to the site and utilize new touch-screen voting machines. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.

Millions approved to fund hurricane resilience projects across Orange County
More than $85 million in federal funds will soon be used to improve Orange County communities that were hit hard by Hurricane Ian. Orange County Commissioners approved funding on Tuesday to help communities prepare for and withstand future storms. It will support 14 local projects, including four in the City of Orlando, two in the City of Ocoee and one in Winter Garden, Winter Park and the Town of Eatonville. Orange County will also use a portion of the funding to improve stormwater infrastructure in Orlo Vista, Long Lake, Verona Park and the Bonnie Brook communities. Longtime Bonnie Brook resident Jim Tadlock told Channel 9 he's still rebuying furniture after losing everything during Hurricane Ian nearly three years ago. 'I bought a living room, dining room and all new appliances,' said Tadlock, 'Everybody on this street lost everything.' But Tadlock is hopeful that a new project set to upgrade existing pumps and construct a new stormwater pump station at the west end of Applecross Street could make a big difference. Commissioners approved $1.5 million for the project as part of the Community Development Block Grant – Disaster Recovery (CDBG-DR) program. Tadlock, along with Bonnie Brook resident Denise George and Bonnie Brook Homeowners Association President Deborah Marley, had advocated for improvement for years. 'We just started pushing and nagging, and I guess it worked,' said Marley. This funding is part of a $219.7 million allocation received by Orange County through HUD. In addition to awards for public infrastructure, $35 million remains, as part of the CDBG-DR program, available for homeowners with unresolved Hurricane Ian damage through the Orange County Recovers program. Applications are open through the summer. Marley continues, 'You still have people trying to get back into their houses. We've got one guy that just moved back in.'
