Commercial District Analysis

In 2017 Livingston County Economic Development received a New York Main Street Technical Assistance grant to undertake a commercial district analysis for the County and its nine downtown districts. Larisa Ortiz Associates was engaged to conduct the assessment. Ms. Ortiz facilitated several community meetings in October of 2017 and returned in February of 2018 to present the final results.

Several recommendations were made for the nine villages in the Downtown Partnership. These included county-wide wayfinding, public art, retail attraction program, and event promotion assistance. Since then, these recommendations have begun to be implemented and initiated.
