These are exciting events that turn the dial up in downtown Rochester. Riding that excitement, our staff will be set up at each event to share and talk with the community about the effort for a potential Business Improvement District (BID) in downtown Rochester. We will be there to listen and learn about what the community wants, and how we can work together to imagine an even more vibrant downtown Rochester. Come visit and chat with us.
There are several opportunities for Rochester community members to learn more about the effort for a potential BID in downtown Rochester. Community members can learn more about the Partnership’s many additional engagement efforts and upcoming events by visiting: partnershipfordowntown.org.
