Business & Government
Elmira is showing signs of thoughtful renewal, our business base is strong, and we still have a good structural foundation. Nevertheless, we could expand our support and promotion of business here in more coordinated and effective ways. At the same time, these efforts must be made with the welfare of the entire community in mind.
Here are some suggestions I would like to offer:
• Elmira should focus more attention on attracting businesses that complement the businesses already established here.
• With downtown revitalization and development, we should promote small businesses, family-owned businesses and entrepreneurship, in order to generate greater diversity, inclusion and vitality throughout our city.
• Elmira should also coordinate more effectively with schools, colleges, and the business community to foster a more attractive business and residential climate in the city and to make services work in an integrated and harmonious manner.
• We must incorporate recreation, beautification, parks and more public activities/events as integral components of our future development throughout Elmira, especially in the downtown.
