Midtown Plaza to be demolished

Governor Eliot Spitzer is touring the state to unveil a "City by City" economic development plan
He outlined his plan for Rochester Tuesday afternoon.
At a meeting of business and community leaders at Midtown Plaza, the Governor named four projects that would receive funding as part of his long-term strategy for economic expansion in Rochester and the Finger Lakes region.
The four projects Governor Spitzer announced today include the demolition of Midtown Plaza and the construction of a world headquarters for PAETEC, and three projects that advance the region's unique strength in agriculture: the Finger Lakes Viticulture and Organic Market Center, the Cornell Agriculture and Food Tech Park and the Agricultural Manufacturing Industrial Park adjacent to the OATKA Milk Products Facility in Genesee County.
The Governor's "City-by-City" plans , the first of which he unveiled last week in Buffalo, are a component of the administration's larger Upstate agenda which focuses on reducing the costs of business, adapting to an "innovation" economy, and strengthening infrastructure.
