Whatever gets built on Parcel 5 at Midtown, it looks like it won’t be a casino.
The four proposals received by the city on Friday did NOT include one from the Seneca Indian Nation, which had talked with the city earlier about a tribal casino on the site.
The Rochester Broadway Theater League and the Visionary Square group submitted two of the proposals. Developers Andrew Gallina and Patrick Dutton submitted the third. The Democrat and Chronicle says it’s confirmed that the fourth came from Glenn Kellog of Harts’s Local Grocers, who proposes dividing the parcel into 15 smaller lots and building a downtown retail center.
The city has said it wants to sell the lot on Main Street for about $1 million and that it wants some sort of mixed-use project involving retail, housing and office space.
