Major job losses in recent years in the Routes 5 & 20 Corridor in Seneca County stimulated the communities of the Towns and Villages of Waterloo and Seneca Falls to come together to seek new opportunities to create jobs and stabilize community businesses. The project provides for an inventory, analysis and strategy for balancing business development with the strong historic, cultural and environmental character of the area.  The project links environmental protection, community and neighborhood preservation, with sustainable economic development across the towns and villages adjoining the canal corridor in Seneca County.
