City of Rochester
News Release
(Wednesday, Nov. 7, 2018) — “Today we were informed that
Tom Golisano is withdrawing his funding commitment for the Performing Arts
Center project. While this development
is disappointing, we remain committed to this important, job-creating project
and its potential to transform our city center. As part of the larger ROC the Riverway
program, the ‘Riverside Performing Arts Center Project’ has never been more
viable and the opportunity to work with Governor Cuomo, the State of New York,
organized labor and the private sector to invest in a project that will deliver
more than 1,000 needed jobs for Rochester residents is too important to give
up.”
