Reshaping Rochester: Public Connections: How a River Acts as a Community Connector

When: Wed., April 13, 11:45 a.m.-1:30 p.m. 2016

In the past rivers were a barrier to be forded, bridged and controlled. But can a river connect a city? Knox White, Greenville, South Carolina’s Mayor believes it can. He will share his work to transform the Reedy River waterfront and falls into a 20 acre public garden space with attractions like the Swamp Rabbit trail and the Greenville Zoo. Falls Park now serves as a place to gather, play, and celebrate life for the city residents- a community treasure and a community connector.

Price: $45, Rsvp.
