Reconnecting to Rochester's Center City

Downtown Rochester has been the hub of the Genesee-Finger Lakes Region for nearly 200 years.  It has seen many changes during that history.  Now, more than any other time in the past half century, broad national, social, cultural, economic and demographic trends are coalescing to bring renewed energy to cities.  A new generation is reconnecting with their downtowns.  Rochester realizes the importance of a vibrant Center City and is dedicated to making decisions that will produce a high quality of urban life that its citizens are proud of and that is attractive to 21st century entrepreneurial talent and investment.
