ABOUT DOWNTOWN DEFINITELY

Downtown Definitely is a joint initiative of NYS Empire State Development, ROC2025, Rochester Downtown Development Corporation, Rochester Downtown Partnership, and the City of Rochester. Their shared mission is to grow economic vitality in Downtown Rochester by bringing the community together and improving its street-level and riverfront experience.

RDDC is a 501c3 not-for-profit organization founded in 1977 whose sole mission is to drive economic vitality in Downtown Rochester. RDDC accelerates downtown development by positioning and marketing the assets that attract businesses and investment, and it catalyzes innovative ideas that make downtown a more vibrant and inclusive community. RDDC also built and operates The Commissary (opened in October 2020), the region’s first and only food business incubator and shared kitchen. The public-private Rochester Downtown Partnership entity was created jointly in 2021 by RDDC, Finger Lakes Empire State Development, City of Rochester, and ROC2025 to jumpstart a new, collaborative way of managing downtown and core ROC the Riverway sites.
