Update: 84 & 86 S. Union Street |

In March, we let you know about a project that was up for Site Plan Review with the City of Rochester. That project, located at 84 and 86 South Union Street, was calling for the demolition of two historic houses in order to construct an addition to an apartment building (known as the Ambassador) that was to be converted to a hotel. After receiving written public comments, the developer went back to the drawing board and modified some elements of the site plan. The new site plan is now available to view on the City’s Site Plan Review Agenda website. We remain opposed to this project for several reasons. Click the link below to read our takeaways. The public can submit comments on this project until August 25th and we encourage you to do so. |
