DOWNTOWN ROCHESTER CALENDAR OF EVENTS   

The Rochester Borough Development Corporation is recognized by Council as the group that supports the Beaver County Main Street Network.  This committee focuses on three main initiatives:  Business Development, Architecture & Design and Community Life.

The Business Development committee's goal is to attract new businesses, as well as retain the current businesses.

The Architecture & Design committee focuses on helping businesses improve their storefronts through grants through the Façade Improvement Program made available through the Beaver County Community Development Program.

The Community Life committee works hard to bring lots of fun-filled activities and  events to our downtown including: Autumn Fest, Christmas Tree Decorating, Santa Parade and many more. The Rochester Bloomers beautify the community by planting and maintaining the gardens in our lovely parks. They need lots of volunteers to make these projects successful and would greatly appreciate your help.

The RBDC also works with Town Center Associates, a consulting firm that specializes in downtown revitalization.  There is a wealth of information on TCA's website regarding a list of properties, photos and contact information for each of the businesses in our downtown, a Calendar of Events, Vacancy Report, FOCUS E-Newsletter and much more.  Visit www.beavercountymainstreets.com.  

If you are interested in becoming involved with the RBDC, the group meets the second Thursday of the month at the Rochester Community Building, 350 Adams Street, at Noon. They look forward to having you join them in their very worthwhile projects!

Rochester is very fortunate to have three professional barber shops that have enjoyed a long business history in our downtown.

The Rochester Bloomers are in need of volunteers to help make our downtown parks and streetscapes more beautiful.  Please call Town Center Associates at 724-728-9400 if you are interested and they will forward your contact information to the group.

Join the movement of hundreds of others  who have already pledged their support for our local and downtown businesses.

Take just 20 seconds to take the Downtown Rochester pledge today! 

Taking the pledge  lets your loyal local businesses know you are happy to have them in your community, and that you want them to stay! Additionally, it sends the message to potential new businesses that your community is supportive of local businesses.

Remember, when you "put your money where your house is" you are helping to create a more vibrant downtown, decreasing time spent in the car and on fuel costs, and also helping to increase the home values in your community: a win-win-win!
