The state has secured $3.9 million in funding to rebuild the pavilion at Highland Park in Rochester, a project that has been in the works for years. This funding will help bring back a beloved community space that was demolished over 60 years ago. Monroe County has been working to secure the final funding source for the project, and with this announcement, the rebuilding of the pavilion can move forward. The pavilion was a popular spot for community events and gatherings before it was demolished, and its rebuilding is expected to bring new life to the park. Highland Park is a 150-acre park located in the heart of Rochester, and the pavilion will be a welcome addition to the community.
The park is surrounded by residential neighborhoods, including the South Wedge and Swillburg neighborhoods, and is a popular spot for walking, biking, and picnicking. The rebuilding of the pavilion is expected to have a positive impact on the local community, with Rochester residents and businesses looking forward to the new opportunities it will bring. The project is expected to be completed in the near future, with a groundbreaking ceremony scheduled to take place soon.
As Rochester continues to grow and develop, the rebuilding of the Highland Park pavilion is a significant step forward for the community.
