Building a Destination Medical Center in Rochester, Minnesota
from Build Me Up · host Kraus-Anderson
The City of Rochester, Minnesota is home to the world-renowned Mayo Clinic, and the city is booming with economic growth. At the heart of it all is the Destination Medical Center, or DMC, initiative. This $5.6 billion dollar economic development plan is the largest in Minnesota's history and is positioning Rochester as a global destination for health and wellness. The City of Rochester welcomes over 3 million visitors annually, and DMC's Heart of the City project is revamping downtown Rochester to create a unique and engaging gathering space for residents and visitors alike. As the "front door" to the Mayo Clinic, Heart of the City includes enhanced safety measures, greater accessibility, more trees, interactive art displays and water features, and a family-friendly space to gather in the downtown area. DMC's Community Engagement and Experience Director Jamie Rothe, the City of Rochester's Development Director Josh Johnsen, and Kraus-Anderson Project Superintendent Troy Dale discuss the Heart of the City project and the future of the City of Rochester.
