Historical analysis of Graham Park, Seneca site, and "Ear of Corn" water tower

Olmsted County’s master plan for Graham Park is centered on features to revitalize the gathering space and transform it into more of a regional destination. New and improved facilities, such as a multi-purpose expo center for which the county is seeking state funding to help build, will increase the park’s flexibility to accommodate a wide range of events and gatherings. 

To move forward with plans for redevelopment, the former Seneca Foods canning factory adjacent to Graham Park (1217 3rd Avenue Southeast in Rochester, Minnesota) will need to be demolished.
