First hour: The future of the Port of Rochester
Second hour: Debunking stereotypes about living in Rochester
What's going on at the Port of Rochester? The city is scraping a proposed plan to build a hotel, shops, and condominiums at the Port in Charlotte. Mayor Lovely Warren's office says the developer, Edgewater Resources, failed to submit detailed project financing for the project, and instead asked for a nine month extension. Mayor Warren says the city will seek other development partners. We'll talk about the decision and what could be next for the Port. Our guests:
- Marianne Warfle, president of the Port of Charlotte Merchants Association, and general manager of the Port of Rochester Marina
- William Brown, systems analyst for TSM Solutions and member of Charlotte Strong
In our second hour, a local couple is moving out of Rochester, but not for the reasons you might think. We'll talk to them about why they say it's time to debunk the stereotypes about living in our city. Our guests:
- Jim Mayer
- Irene Allen
