Downtown Ithaca is the economic, social and cultural heart of Tompkins County. The Downtown Ithaca Alliance strives to preserve and develop the central downtown core as the region's center for banking and finance, business and professional offices, government and community services, downtown residences, and as a retail destination highlighted by specialty shops, restaurants, arts and entertainment. Downtown serves people who live and work downtown, city and county residents, college communities, area visitors and tourists.
