  • Southern Tier Round 4:  Hornell, NY (2019)

The City of Hornell, located on the Western border of Steuben County, has a rich history as a commercial center for neighboring communities within a 30-mile radius.  Shadowed by the beautiful wooded hills of the Canisteo Valley, Hornell’s downtown is highlighted with a wide Main Street, Victorian style lighting, and historic buildings.  The City will leverage DRI funds to enhance the economic vitality of the downtown commercial area through investing in the Advanced Manufacturing Industry and promoting the Southern Tier’s Innovative Culture. Additionally, the City of Hornell plans to foster Downtown Hornell’s educational, cultural, historic, artistic, recreational, dining, and retail opportunities; strengthen existing local and regional assets; create long-term value to support future generations; and provide an inclusive and sustainable downtown experience for residents, workers, students, and visitors.
