Connections: The future of Rochester's La Marketa project

Is La Marketa going to happen? Rochester Mayor Lovely Warren recently announced the release of a request for proposals for the sale and development of land that would “transform a section of the 800 block of N. Clinton Avenue into a Latin American village plaza.” That dream has been discussed for nearly 30 years in Rochester. 

Our guests talk about their vision and the possible impact. In studio:

  • Mayor Lovely Warren
  • Jackie Ortiz, member of Rochester City Council
  • Daisy Algarin, senior marketing specialist for the City of Rochester
  • Eugenio Marlin, vice president of Ibero American Development Corp.
