In Rochester, New York, asbestos removal is taking place at the site of the Midtown plaza.

The material must be removed from the site according to state and federal laws because asbestos is a known carcinogen that is the primary cause of mesothelioma, a rare lung cancer. City officials say that the project will cost a total of $90 million, which was more than expected and city officials still need to procure the rest of the funds.
