DOWNTOWN RECOGNITION AWARD 
Rochester Bloomers

With nearly 600 cars per hour avoiding driving through downtown Rochester, it is with great relief to have the roundabout project completed. The roundabout officially opened to traffic at the end of July and now will draw traffic and attention back to town. This is a perfect opportunity for businesses to attract more customers. The roundabout eliminates traffic signals, stop signs and left turns against traffic. It will also greatly reduce traffic accidents and improve safety. The goal is for some of the growth from the BCTA improvements and ridership to spill into our mix of retail and restaurants downtown and ultimately spur a revitalization of our downtown.  

Autumn fest  

Rochester's Autumnfest is set for October 15th. There will be food vendors, pumpkin painting, games and inflatable attractions. This is a great opportunity for Rochester business to hold sidewalk sales and take part in the fall fun.   

Help to market the vacant and/or available properties in your downtown with TCA's FREE DowntownProperties.net poster!

Placing the colorful DowntownProperties.net poster in your window will let everyone passing by know that it is available, whether your property is vacant or still being occupied.  

Most importantly, the poster can direct those interested in your property to DowntownProperties.net, where they can access important information about the property, such as contact information, address square footage, a photograph, community demographics, and more!   

If you are interested in a free poster for your property, please contact Town Center Associates at 724-728-9400 or tca@towncenter.info.
