Letchworth Genesee Valley Partnership
Every year, nearly 1 million visitors pass through to visit one of New York’s top destinations: Letchworth State Park.
In 2017, the municipalities of Perry, Mount Morris and Geneseo joined forces to establish Letchworth Gateway Villages (LGV), a collaborative initiative designed to catalyze economic growth and new tourism-related market opportunities for the communities that serve as “gateways” to Letchworth State Park. In 2025, to reflect the growth in the number of member communities and partners of the Genesee Valley Trail Towns initiative, LGV changed its name to Letchworth Genesee Valley Partnership.
Their mission is to build the connective tissue and capacity for collaboration critical for realizing the long-term economic potential of sustainable tourism in the Letchworth + Genesee Valley region. The LGV Partnership works with communities, businesses, municipalities and county stakeholders to achieve the following goals:
Increase visibility for the region’s unique attractions and businesses through a robust online and digital media presence.
Foster a shared identity that encourages collaboration and strengthens regional assets across municipal boundaries.
Activate regional strategies aimed at cultivating new tourism-related economic opportunities in the rural Genesee Valley.
