In 2012, the City completed a year-long, economic development planning process that included a series of stakeholder meetings and interviews and a survey of local businesses, as well as a benchmarking report showing how the City of Canandaigua compares to similar sized communities in the Finger Lakes region and an extensive analysis of the City's economy and land-use.
The summary of this process is "The Canandaigua Economic Development Partnership: an Integrated Approach to Prosperity; the Strategic Economic Development Plan for the City of Canandaigua, NY."
