It’s nestled between two beautiful Finger Lakes and surrounded by many fine educational institutions. It offers diverse and affordable housing opportunities along with a highly regarded public school system, with close accessibility to recreational, cultural and leisure activities. It all adds up to a superior quality of life. Clearly, prospective business developers should start with Seneca County at the top of their site list.”

“There were two key driving factors in our decision to locate our businesses in Seneca County. The first was the high quality of life exemplified by the natural beauty and relaxed environment that is close to numerous cultural and artistic venues. The second was the highly educated, quality labor force and the ‘willing to work’ attitude that comes from the traditional values and agricultural background of many residents.”
