Corning,
New York
is found in the very heart of the lush Finger
Lakes Wine Country. This thriving community
retains a unique mixture of modern development and
historic preservation. Small-town values live on
here, even as the city expands and grows.
Fondly called ‘The Crystal City’, Corning has long
been known for its magnificent glass-crafting
artisans. The historic Market
Street is a delight for all the senses, with
carefully restored buildings that house glass studios,
antique shops, specialty retail stores and a grand
array of eateries. The Corning
Museum of Glass and the Corning
Glass Center display the finest marvels of
glasswork. Specialty shops offer works of art
for sale, along with fine Steuben
Crystal. All the arts are honored in Corning.
Residents enjoy their own ballet, theatre troupes and
music groups. The Rockwell
Museum holds the largest collection of Western and
Native American art in the East.
Market Street is included in Corning’s larger Gaffer
District, home to more than forty restaurants and
over one hundred stores. Tourists come from all over Upstate
New York and beyond, to partake in the city’s
many festivals
held here. A city that celebrates life in all
its seasons, Corning’s Jazz
Festival under the autumn colors of the tree-lined
streets is a must for all music lovers. Christmas brings joy for children of all ages
with the annual Sparkle
Weekend. Corning offers free musical
entertainment with the Summer
Song concert series held each weekend.
Census 2000 reported Corning’s population as just
below 11,000. Recent estimates predict a
population of roughly 13,000. Part of the

Already home to two Fortune 500 companies and with an
excellent transportation infrastructure in place, the
city and county work together to plan the future.
The Three
Rivers Development Corporation and Southern
Tier Economic Growth, Inc. (STEG) are available
with many incentives to attract new industry to the
area. The Steuben
County Industrial Development Agency aids new
firms by offering tax and utility cost cuts in their
formative years. Part of a
tri-county region that includes Schuyler
and Chemung
Counties, Steuben County is targeted as a New
York State Empire Zone. Future prosperity is
well assured in Corning, NY.
The marvelous mixture of art and culture, historic
beauty and modern growth makes Corning a wonderful
city to raise a family, start a business, or come to
visit. With a strong commitment to preserving
the friendly, tight-knit atmosphere, Corning residents
are also ready to grow. Corning
Community College, as well as nearby Ithaca

Colleges, prepare area students with the finest in
higher education.
Surrounded by the rural beauty of Steuben County and
