The City of Rochester has been divided into the four (4) geographic quadrants, each with its own Neighborhood Service Center. Each quadrant in the city also has its own Quadrant Team, an interdepartmental team of professionals dedicated to improving the quality of life in their assigned area. These cross-functional teams are intended to directly solve problems, establish community partnerships, and promote strength and growth in city neighborhoods. Teams meet regularly with community representatives to identify and prioritize issues.

 Neighborhood Service Centers are based on the notion that the best way of responding to neighborhood issues is by teaming residents with City staff to devise and achieve effective solutions. This approach brings City government closer to its citizens and their neighborhoods so that quality of life issues can be addressed quickly and effectively.
