Connections: Discussing the re-worked design plan for Parcel 5

Rochester's Parcel 5 got a fresh launch this week with the introduction of a re-worked design plan. It maintains the plan for a performing arts center while adding more open space to allow for community use, including concerts during the jazz festival. There are other tweaks as well. Rochester Mayor Lovely Warren enthusiastically endorsed the vision.

Our guests discuss it:

  • Sandy Parker, former CEO of the Rochester Business Alliance, and new leader of the project team for Parcel 5
  • Willie Joe Lightfoot, member of Rochester City Council
  • Ray Ray Mitrano, member of People for Parcel 5
