A feasibility study looking at the best location for a new performing arts center in downtown Rochester is suggesting that facility be built at Midtown.
Rochester commissioned the $210,000 study a year ago. It was funded in part by the state, county and the Rochester Broadway Theater League.
The study recommends a 2,850 seat facility that would cost about $75 million. It suggests the facility could be funded through grants, sponsorship and fundraising without a public subsidy.
Mayor Lovely Warren has been pushing for a performing arts center, and last week she extended the deadline for prospective developers to submit their proposals for the so-called ‘Parcel 5 ‘ location in downtown Rochester.
