Downtown Olean

Downtown Olean is already a popular spot for locals and visitors, with a reputation for an outstanding range of restaurants. In addition, the city hosts events throughout the year that draw people from the entire region, including the annual Home and Garden How, Art in the Park, Taste of Olean and the festive Santa Claus Parade.

"Our goal with this program is to make opening a business in our community as attractive and affordable as possible," said John Sayegh, Chief Operating Officer of the Greater Olean Area Chamber of Commerce.

The city's central business district also boasts ample free off-street parking and Lincoln Park, making the downtown area even more attractive for business. "We currently have a number of available spaces in existing buildings that are ideal for renovation," noted Sayegh. "This program is a unique opportunity for both start-up and expanding businesses."

Olean Mayor David Carucci agreed. "We're committed to making our downtown the best place in the region for businesses and residents alike," he stated. "Olean offers the perfect balance of hometown charm and urban energy."
