Finger Lakes Welcome Center: A Gateway to the Region
The Finger Lakes Welcome Center, completed in 2018, represents a major New York State-funded redevelopment of Geneva’s existing visitor center at the north end of Seneca Lake. Designed to serve as both a hub for travelers and a showcase for regional culture, the site provides amenities operated by the New York Kitchen — Taste NY Market, highlighting locally sourced food and beverages.

Survey, Civil Engineering, and Landscape Architecture Services
Costich Engineering provided comprehensive services including boundary and topographic survey, civil site engineering, and landscape architecture. Our team delivered site and landscape design details, grading and utility upgrades, lighting improvements, and construction documentation that integrated seamlessly with architectural elements and community programming needs.

Enhancing Community and Visitor Experience
The redeveloped center offers multiple new site amenities including a playground, expansive patios, a fountain, and electric vehicle parking. Together, these features create a vibrant, family-friendly environment while strengthening Geneva’s position as a gateway destination for the Finger Lakes region.
