Residential building permits are also be an indicator of future growth in the corridor. The trend
in building permits within the Geneseo area issued between 2000 and 2007 (Figure 4) follows the
population trends in the area above with one exception. The Town of Geneseo is projected to have
modest population growth but has issued the third greatest number of residential building permits
between 2000 and 2007 in the Geneseo area. Consequently, greater population growth than
projected can also be anticipated in the Town of Geneseo if those building permits are executed.
Additional growth in the Town of Geneseo will have a direct impact on traffic growth in the
corridor.

Potential Development
There are several impending development projects within the Geneseo area that could have an
impact on traffic patterns within the corridor:
• Wadsworth Property – a portion of the large parcel south of the intersection of Route
20A and Main Street was recently rezoned from residential uses to mixed use
development. Development of this property could generate additional traffic and
intersection conflicts at Route 20A and Main Street.
• SUNY Geneseo ‐ the college has recently completed and opened the 84 bed Seneca Hall
residential building and is proposing to build a 2,000 person stadium sometime in the
future. The additional beds could potentially reduce the number of vehicles in the
corridor if current commuters decide to live on campus in the new facilities. SUNY
