Connections: Plans For Developing the Port of Rochester

We take a fresh look at the plans for developing the Port of Rochester. Rochester city leaders say plans are moving forward, and ground could be broken next spring. The city is expecting a new hotel, condominiums, and more. Critics say there are numerous reasons to oppose the project, and they'll outline their concerns at a meeting on Thursday. But business owners in the area say that the plans could spark new life to a dormant area. Our panel debates:

  • Kate Washington, City of Rochester deputy commissioner of neighborhood and business development
  • Bill Brown, president of TMS Solutions
  • Ed Steinberg, city resident
