Together with the fine scenery, shops and eateries offered, you will find local attractions that include The Smith Opera House, Prouty-Chew Museum, Rose Hill Mansion, Geneva Free Library, Hobart and William Smith Colleges, and easy access to the Seneca Lake Wine Trail. Geneva has made considerable improvements in downtown, all downtown streets and sidewalks have been improved, more diagonal parking spaces have been added, and old curbing and drainage systems have been replaced. Decorative Victorian lampposts have been installed and brick accents have been placed along sidewalks to complement the historic atmosphere of downtown Geneva.

Historic downtown Geneva is located on beautiful Seneca Lake in the heart of the Finger Lakes Region adjacent to Routes. 5&20 and the City's 60-acre lakefront where you will find walking and biking trails, picnicking areas and a public boat launch. Geneva is easily accessible from NYS Thruway (I-90), Exit 42.

The Geneva Business Improvement District was formed to promote an attractive and economically viable downtown (18.5 acre designated area) that is high quality in appearance and design, safe and attractive to property owners, business people, tenants, shoppers, and visitors.  Our organization addresses programs that focus on:  architectural design and preservation; economic planning and development; and business recruitment, retention, marketing, and promotion.

The BID was formed in 1986 to preserve, revitalize, and market the downtown business district. It is now one of the oldest and most effective downtown organizations in the State of New York. The BID has a board representing property owners, tenants, and City government. BID staff includes a Executive Director, and part time Administrative Assistant and Maintenance Supervisor.
