To those who know Rochester from years
back, Main and Clinton was the epicenter of
the community right up through the 1960s.
But like many cities in America, urban
sprawl has set in.
Today, our epicenter is practically
abandoned, and that attitude radiates
strongly throughout the area.
There is a solution. It has already been met
by community enthusiasm. It is the largest
development project in Monroe County’s
history. And here and now, we are bringing
a great vision into sharper focus…one that
will soon become reality.
An exciting joint development project that
combines a transit center, an urban college
campus and a performing arts center in the
heart of our city. It will recreate downtown
Rochester and enhance our community’s
economic, educational and cultural vitality.
