A split Rochester City Council gave the green light Wednesday to end the city’s lease with Legends Bar and Grill and move forward with potential demolition efforts.
“This building has been slated for demolition since I joined the council,” said council member Nick Campion, who’s starting his seventh year on the council.
He added that the goal is to move toward the eventual redevelopment of the city-owned property that runs along the west side of the Zumbro River between Second Street Southeast and Fourth Street Southeast.
