PRESERVING ROCHESTER'S CATARACT BUILDING

Hello -

We are putting out an URGENT PLEA for interested persons to come to the ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS meeting this THURSDAY MORNING, where the CATARACT BUILDING (Genesee Brewery complex/St. Paul Street) will be discussed. Details are:

WHAT: City of Rochester Zoning Board of Appeals

WHEN: Thursday, DEC. 15, 2011

10:00 am

WHERE: City Council Chambers - CITY HALLl, 30 Church St., Rochester

As mentioned (below), LSWNY would like to “fill the seats” in City Council Chambers to show that there is significant interest & concern about this highly visible, National Register-eligible, industrial building in the Genesee Brewery complex. The tallest & most distinguished building in that complex, the 19^th-century Cataract Building is also the “signature building” on the east rim of the Genesee River gorge. LSWNY has been intensely involved with the on-going discussions about the possible re-use/re-development of this important building.

Thanks.

Cynthia Howk
