Welcome to the
Canandaigua DRI website!

In February 2025, Governor Kathy Hochul announced the City of Canandaigua as the eighth round winner of the Downtown Revitalization Initiative (DRI) in the Finger Lakes Region. This $10 million award will bolster Canandaigua’s ongoing revitalization as a residential, recreational, and economic hub of the Finger Lakes region by supporting projects that will create a diverse mix of businesses, housing, public spaces, events, and arts in the downtown.  

This page provides the latest information about the Canandaigua DRI planning process, including details on upcoming events, materials used over the course of the project, and information on how to get involved as a project sponsor and member of the public.
