Sector:

Organization Mission: The North American High Speed Rail Group (NAHSR) was established to design and develop a high speed rail network across the U.S. We at NAHSR believe in high speed rail (HSR) as a catalyst for economic development and growth. Our efforts are focused on building livable, sustainable, and connected communities. We believe these communities will thrive through the partnerships that are created with investors, business and development partners, and government entities, and we seek to be the first-to-market solution in building America’s future.

About Beam
  • For the commercial sector, we tend to register startup activities (new companies and new commercial projects) that bring diversification and high-impact opportunities to the area.
  • For the non-profit sector, we wish to shine light on all the organizations and services that otherwise labor under relative obscurity.
  • Our hope is that dmcbeam.org will encourage cross-sector collaborations and creative solutions.

While there are a number of registries in the community, dmcbeam.org's  distinct value is to pilot a database with a data structure and categorizations that answer the questions such as: What organizations or projects/programs in our community that have purported relevance with some of the over-arching focuses put forward by initiatives such as DMC, J2G and Health Improvements?

This database could be used as one of the ways to explore the capacities of the community. If you are someone on an exploratory journey to learn about the greater Rochester community. dmcbeam.org could be an interesting first step.
