The five-part series will build on prior conversations about enhancing downtown Rochester’s public realm and focus in the area between Broadway and 2nd and 3rd streets.
HISTORIC PRESERVATION + REDEVELOPMENT
The Study Area resides at the city’s origin point, and it is defined by historic structures that trace the evolution of downtown Rochester. Over time, building uses change but their form can endure. This session looks at the historical evolution of the site and how it has been transformed over generations.
- In what ways can new development and historic preservation harmoniously co-exist?
- What opportunities are there to excavate the land and uncover layers of the city’s past?
