Located on the
southern shore
of Lake Ontario,
in the western
region of
Upstate New
York, the City
of Rochester is
New York's third
largest
metropolitan
area.
Traditionally
known for its
homegrown "big
three" companies
(Kodak, Xerox
and Bausch &
Lomb) Rochester
has quietly
maintained its
position as one
of the leading
manufacturing
cities in the
U.S., while
simultaneously
diversifying its
economy and
making a name
for itself in
several emerging
technology
sectors.
Like most
secondary
markets,
Rochester
competes with
primary markets
by offering a
lower cost of
doing business
and several
quality of life
advantages that
are difficult,
if not
impossible, for
larger cities to
match.
Despite a
manufacturing
base that has
gone through a
period of
reduction,
Rochester still
consistently
ranks among the
top 10 exporting
cities in the
U.S. With
a workforce that
also ranks in
the top 10 for
productivity,
and the areas
growing status
as a hotbed for
the high-tech
industries that
are shaping our
new economy,
Rochester is a
city that is
bucking many of
the negative
trends
afflicting some
other cities in
the Northeast.
