Rochester Mayor Ardell Brede, says, “We now have the tools in place from the state and at the local level to move this initiative forward and begin to leverage the commitment of private capital by Mayo Clinic and others into our community. This is an exciting day for the future of Rochester, and we look forward to the next steps of community engagement and implementation as the plan is developed further and begins to come to life.”
