COUNTY SEAT: Lyons, N.Y. 14489 Located in the northwest corner of Wayne County, the Town of Ontario is 20 miles from downtown Rochester. It borders Lake Ontario on the north and shares boundaries with the Town of Webster (to the west), Town of Walworth (to the south) and Town of Williamson (to the east). The Town of Ontario is one of the three fastest growing communities in Wayne County based on its proximity to major employers in Monroe County Xerox Corporation's manufacturing center is 10 minutes away in Webster and at several other Monroe County sites. Tenneco's Plastic Division (formerly Mobil Chemical), is based in the Village of Macedon, 10 miles south of Ontario. Eastman Kodak Company calls Rochester home, as does Gleason Works and Bausch & Lomb. Other major employers include General Motors, Sybron, the University of Rochester, Rochester Institute of Technology, Rochester Gas & Electric Corp., and Frontier Telephone. Ontario is home to the Ginna Nuclear Power Station operated by Constellation Energy Corporation. Several specialized business establishments also call the Town of Ontario home. Two industrial parks and ample industrial and commercial land provide opportunities for new and expanded businesses. Agriculture, for many years a dominant industry in the township, continues to provide local employment in some fruit growing and dairy operations. Wayne County is the nation's third largest producer of apples and other fruits. Steady growth has continued with a current population of over 9,000 residents. New home construction continues at a steady pace. Easy access to cultural activities, educational resources, hospitals and large shopping centers in Greater Rochester and the interstate highway system is provided by NYS Route 104, a divided, 4-lane highway. Access to the New York State Thruway is also easily obtained at the Manchester, Victor, and Henrietta exits. Both town and school district programs provide ample recreational services for persons of all ages. Ontario maintains and operates a 66 acre town park. A boat launch is available for resident use only at a town-owned harbor on Lake Ontario. Ontario residents are proud of their rural heritage and of the progressive community in which they reside today. Service groups, fraternal organizations and community groups provide varied services and programs for local families and residents. COMMUNITY SERVICESFOR FURTHER INFORMATION.
