Mayo Clinic updated Rochester, MN, officials for the first time on its multibillion-dollar expansion that will upend downtown with “at least seven years” of projects.
In a presentation to the Rochester City Council, Mayo officials said they’re already meeting with local groups and neighborhoods, including the Kutzky Park Neighborhood Association and the Rochester Downtown Alliance, to get feedback and concerns about how projects will affect the area.
