A private, not-for-profit, economic development entity, the Rochester Downtown Development Corporation (RDDC) is funded by corporations, institutions, and real estate companies.

To create the synergy and balance that is part of a healthy downtown, the RDDC agenda nurtures a broad range of development initiatives. These include housing, commercial, entertainment, and large public projects.

RDDC’s primary role is to deliver a vibrant and economically strong downtown as part of the region’s larger asset package.
