The City of Rochester Announces the International Plaza!

The International Plaza is an exciting new City initiative to develop and construct a new Latin-themed event space and marketplace on North Clinton Avenue.  The project will include a variety of vendors and vending options ranging from pop-up tents and carts to more permanent locations housed in retail kiosks, a performance pavilion, dedicated restrooms and a service/storage building.  The International Plaza will provide a community gathering space to celebrate and build on the tremendous arts and cultural assets of the surrounding neighborhood and a spot where local entrepreneurs and/or existing businesses can locate and sell their products and services in a low risk, low cost, flexible environment that is envisioned to become an incubator for neighborhood economic development.
