Elmira Heights

As a complement to Elmira, Elmira Heights acts as a vibrant small‑city node with lower‑cost real estate options perfect for light‑industrial and service‑sector growth. The village offers local tax‑increment financing and staff‑supported permit facilitation. Investment by regional employers—such as manufacturers and construction support services—is fueling renovation of older mill buildings into commercial space. Proximity to Arnot Mall and the Elmira‑Corning Airport fuels mixed‑use possibilities, while downtown streets are seeing streetscape upgrades, making Heights an attractive target for opportunistic small‑scale RE development.
