Advertisement Crews work to demolish building for future public space on Main and Stone streets ROCHESTER, N.Y. — Crews worked Wednesday to demolish a building on East Main Street, across from Stone Street, that once housed a McDonald’s and later a grocery store. The city is creating a new outdoor public corridor at the site that will run between Main and Division streets and offer outdoor dining and entertainment space. Construction for the new space, called “The Commons,” is expected to happen in 2028, but is subject to change. The future construction project is part of a $1.3 million grant from the Downtown Revitalization Initiative (DRI). For more information on the demolition and future construction project, click here.
