Hurry Up and Wait


No Deal Yet on Fast Ferry

Earlier this week Rochester Mayor Bob Duffy told Euroferries to finalize its purchase of the Fast Ferry or the City was going elsewhere. He was just kidding I guess?

No deal so far as Duffy has now said maybe sometime next week. Maybe.

City of Rochester legal eagle Thomas Richards will apparently travel to Europe to make sure the deal gets done.

Duffy has said there are other potential buyers, multiple, but given the ultimatum earlier that turned out to not be an ultimatum one has to wonder if these buyers actually exist.

There are rumored reports of a company that toured the vessel while it was in Nova Scotia but Duffy has said he cannot comment on these reports.

With the Ferry, and now the troubles with the tenants of the Blue Cross Arena, the Mayor has a very full plate.
