Get ready, Rochester, for a Main Street makeover.
Starting in April, Main Street will be taken apart and put back together in a major renovation project from the Clinton River Bridge to the Paint Creek Bridge. The $4 million project will result in a fresh Main Street, complete with planters made from reclaimed brick, street seating and LED light poles.
Downtown businesses will remain open throughout the construction period; sidewalks will remain open, too. Details, including the exact construction dates, will be released in the coming weeks.
