RFP 26-07 DOWNTOWN REDEVELOPMENT 161 SOUTH MAIN ST

The City of Rochester seeks a single developer (or development team) to acquire six contiguous parcels totaling 6.61 acres at 161 South Main Street and deliver a mixed‑use, primarily new‑construction project that meets downtown design standards and optional affordable‑housing goals.
