As the State Legislature session wound to an end this week, there’s agreement in Albany on $10 million in state funding to upgrade Rochester’s Blue Cross Arena at the War Memorial.
Rochester Mayor Lovely Warren says the Assembly and Senate leadership have agreed with Governor Cuomo to move the item through. She says it’s an important investment in a critical downtown facility and necessary to stay competitive with other cities.
The city wants upgrades including a courtside restaurant, updated suites, modernized concessions and bathrooms.
