The City of Rochester is looking to revitalize High Falls by making it into a state park. This hour, guest host and CITY Magazine reporter Gino Fanelli has a conversation about possibilities for transforming the area into a tourist destination. There have been many attempts over the years, and this new proposal would include a visitor center and a new park in the gorge. City of Rochester representatives say the project is part of a broader citywide shift to invest in Rochester's natural attributes.
Will it be successful? What will bring more people to High Falls? Our guests:
- Vinnie Esposito, regional director for Empire State Development
- Rich Perrin, commissioner of the City of Rochester's Department of Environmental Services
- Howard Decker, architect and board member for Greentopia
