The Town of Penfield is an established, vibrant community that welcomes new businesses and organizations. Penfield’s commercial and mixed-use development areas offer opportunities for a wide range of business development and expansion.
The goal is to ensure Penfield has businesses and services to meet the needs of residents and visitors from Penfield and neighboring communities. Whether a new business is locating to Penfield for the first time or an existing business is making plans to expand, the Town’s technical staff can assist developers, business owners, and property owners with the required review processes and approvals needed.
Penfield strives to make the development review process as straightforward and seamless as possible.
For guidance and assistance with business development or expansion, please reach out to the Department of Developmental Services.
