Livingston County Economic Development was recently honored with an Excellence Award from the International Downtown Association for our Downtown 2.0 Commercial District Assessment. We engaged with Streetsense (formerly Larisa Ortiz Associates) to develop the assessment, a comprehensive plan for the County and its nine downtowns that identified shared downtown challenges and established a set of clear strategies and tactics for the County to collectively address business attraction and sales growth, capital investment, and redevelopment.

The downtown planning approach combined qualitative and quantitative data in four key areas of analysis, the Physical Environment, the local Business Environment, Market Demand and Demographics, and Administrative Capacity for Livingston County and each of its nine downtowns: Geneseo, Mount Morris, Dansville, Avon, Caledonia, Livonia, Nunda, Lima, and Leicester.
