Knowlton spoke to 13WHAM News over the phone on Monday and explained that much had been going on behind the scenes over the last few months.

A City of Rochester spokesman said via email that “there is a resolution in the works for that property and one that would be welcome by all.” The spokesman also acknowledged that the resolution may take a few more weeks.
