Rochester, New York's third-largest city with approximately 209,000 residents, is transitioning from its Eastman Kodak manufacturing legacy to a diversified economy centered on optics/photonics (the city produces more optics than any other US metro), healthcare (University of Rochester Medical Center), and higher education. The city's extensive historic building stock — including the George Eastman Museum, the Kodak Tower, and 30+ designated landmark properties — plus active downtown revitalization create strong demand for scanning and documentation services.
