City of Rochester
News Release
(Tuesday, March 10, 2020) – The City of Rochester is
seeking applications from individuals and businesses who are interested in
becoming tenants/licensees at La Marketa at the International Plaza, an
exciting new City venue that is currently under construction on North Clinton
Avenue. At present, there are five
kiosks (repurposed shipping containers) that will be available for operation by
potential vendors when La Marketa officially opens later this year.
La Marketa at the International Plaza is a City initiative
that is developing and constructing a new Latin-themed event space and
marketplace. The project will include a variety of vendors and vending options
ranging from pop-up tents and carts to more permanent retail locations housed
in converted shipping containers. The
space will also have a performance pavilion, dedicated restrooms and a
service/storage building. The project, which costs over $2 million, is expected
to open in the fall of 2020.
An informational meeting for interested applicants will
take place from 4 - 5 p.m. on Monday, March 16, at the City’s Department of
Recreation and Youth Services, 57 St. Paul St.
The deadline for submission of vendor applications is
noon on Friday, March 27, 2020.
