As Rochester Mayor Lovely Warren and City Council members talked on Monday evening about the mayor’s request for funding a study on a performing arts center, Warren told them the county is willing to help out with the cost.
Warren originally proposed a $211,000 study funding with $100,000 in state money and the city picking up $111,000. Warren now says that Monroe County Executive Maggie Brooks plans to put $81,000 toward the study, which would reduce the city’s share to $30,000.
Brooks’ office told Time Warner Cable News she is supportive of a performing arts center, but a county spokesman said that a commitment to offer county funding for the proposed study is premature.
Council is expected to meet again Tuesday night and possibly could vote on it then.
