Rochester Biz Journal being sold to Gatehouse

The Rochester Business Journal has agreed to be acquired by GateHouse Media New York Holdings Inc. for an undisclosed price.

A story on its website states, “‘I am excited that GateHouse sees the value in what we’ve created,’ said Susan Holliday, RBJ president and publisher. ‘They are a growing company doing many exciting and innovative things, and I believe they will be a good fit for the RBJ organization.’

“Holliday, who has been RBJ’s principal owner since 1988, will not remain with the company.

“‘I am looking forward to the next chapter of my life,’ she said. ‘Hopefully, where one door closes, another one opens.’

“Holliday has long been active in the Rochester community. She currently serves as chairman of the University of Rochester Medical Center board and is a Rochester Institute of Technology trustee. She also is a director of Five Star Bank and is a board member of the Greater Rochester Chamber of Commerce and the Healthcare Trustees of New York State.”
