Wednesday forum seeks ideas on downtown revitalization

ROCHESTER - A visioning session to discuss what the public wants to be the focus of redevelopment of Rochester's downtown is scheduled for Wednesday at the Rochester Performance and Arts Center on North Main St.

There are actually two separate community development efforts currently under way focusing on density and design within the downtown.

Both efforts are soliciting community feedback to better understand "how you interact with the downtown and what historical elements and resources you find most important," according to a statement made by the group associated with Wednesday's forum.

The meeting runs from 6-7:30 p.m. at the Performance and Arts center at 32 North Main St.
