Welcome to your downtown opportunity. Whether you’re a business owner looking for an accessible storefront, an investor eyeing mixed-use potential, or a developer ready to make your mark, downtown Rochester offers a vibrant and growing ecosystem.

  2. Talk with a broker or advisor to assess financing, zoning, and potential build-out costs.
  3. Review downtown-specific resources, like historic district regulations, public-realm plans, and RDA grant programs.
