Genesee County, located in western New York, is a regional government that oversees public services across a largely rural area outside the city of Batavia. Covering about 550 square miles, the county had a population of roughly 60,000 people as of the 2000 census and comprises thirteen towns, six villages, and the City of Batavia, the county seat. As a non-chartered county, its government is led by an elected nine-member County Legislature and an appointed County Manager who coordinates 26 departments to deliver public services. The primary customers are residents and local communities within Genesee County seeking coordinated local governance and public services. Based in Batavia, the administration serves communities throughout the region, which lies midway between Rochester and Buffalo. A notable recent development is the December 2024 launch of electric vehicle fast charging stations, reflecting ongoing investment in regional infrastructure.
