The Commissary, Downtown Kitchen Incubator

The Commissary, located in the Sibley Building at 250 East Main Street in Rochester, is a collaborative community initiative that provides shared kitchen space and business assistance to certified entrepreneurs in the food industry. The assistance helps these businesses build stronger neighborhoods by occupying vacant store fronts and bringing financial support and development to business corridors that have sat empty for years.

The stability and growth of the City of Rochester is vital to the economic growth of the entire Greater Rochester region. The Commissary is an example of a successful program with measurable impact that is strengthening businesses and neighborhood commercial corridors.
