Geothermal and air source heating and cooling systems have the potential to save you thousands of dollars and reduce your energy use, as well as improve the comfort of your home.

Join us for the launch of our HeatSmart FLX North campaign which will work to promote the installation of these systems. This campaign will focus on Genesee, Orleans, Ontario, and Wayne Counties but all are welcome to learn more.

The Region
The Genesee-Finger Lakes Region consists of nine counties in Upstate New York: Genesee, Livingston, Monroe, Ontario, Orleans, Seneca, Wayne, Wyoming, and Yates. These counties contain 188 municipalities (cities, towns, and villages), and a portion of the Tonawanda Reservation. The region covers 4,676 square miles of land and is home to 1,217,135 people (2010 census), including the City of Rochester, the state’s third largest city. It stretches from the level lake plain along Lake Ontario’s south shore rising to the hill and valley terrain of the Allegheny Plateau. The region is bisected by the north-flowing Genesee River and the Erie Canal and includes five of the 11 Finger Lakes in their entirety and portions of three more.

Our Mission
The Genesee/Finger Lakes Regional Planning Council (G/FLRPC) will identify, define, and inform its member counties of issues and opportunities critical to the physical, economic, and social health of the region. G/FLRPC provides forums for discussion, debate, and consensus building, and develops and implements a focused action plan with clearly defined outcomes, which include programs, personnel, and funding.
