Enough already! Give MCC the respect it deserves. Its president and its board of directors have voted to move from the very heart of downtown (the corner of Main and Clinton, itself a distressed area) to a greater downtown location. A location (the High Falls area) into which the City of Rochester has poured hundreds of thousands of dollars (millions?) to populate and energize over the past ten years.
Now here comes a possible, natural way for the area (including Frontier Field) to blossom. I can't imagine that this new facility would not be far superior for the community college's purposes. And I would be much surprised if the school would not increase its population at this new site compared to where it is now.
Notwithstanding Mayor Richards' dogmatic stand and Klofas's remarks on school safety, I hope that MCC stands firm, and leaves Sibley's, knowing that the challenge for rebuilding the heart of downtown has just become even more complex.
