Genesee County Economic Development Center
Genesee County Economic Development Center’s (GCEDC) mission is to be the
driving force in fostering community economic success through growth, expansion and
retention of our existing base and to market a community based "business friendly"
climate facilitating new business attraction for both start-ups and corporate relocations. Currently we
have five shovel ready parks located in Genesee County and two more large scale advanced
manufacturing / Nano-tech parks under development. All of Genesee County is in the Foreign Trade Zone
for additional duty avoidance/elimination benefits. If you’re looking to do business in New York-Genesee
County is the place to be!
The GCEDC is focused on Agri-Business, Life Sciences, Advanced Manufacturing & High-Tech/Clean-Tech
