Day 5 of National Tourism & Economic Development Week! We’re wrapping up our staff highlights by recognizing another member of our LivCo team who helps move our community forward every day.

Financing the Future
Meet Bill Waterhouse & Maureen Wheeler

Bill is our Senior Economic Development Specialist & Maureen our Deputy Director. Growth requires both a plan and the math to back it up. Bill and Maureen spend their days turning “good ideas” into sustainable local jobs through day-to-day structuring, financing and incentives, facilitating entrepreneurship classes, and reducing high barriers to entry for local startups.

Their impact can be seen in success stories like Brew in Livingston, which helped create the Libation Loop which has been recognized as the 2025 NYSTIA Excellence Award winner for Trails & Itineraries. Also keep an eye for the 250th celebration’s Revolutionary Pours 🍻

“Providing financing and incentives to businesses is essential to our residents’ quality of life and tourist attraction.” — Bill W.

“That moment in an entrepreneurship class when a student becomes a business owner and the math suddenly clicks.. that’s the reward.” — Maureen

Day 2 of National Tourism & Economic Development Week! 🥳 🌎

Today, we’re continuing the celebration by highlighting more members of our LivCo team who plays a key role in supporting our community’s success! 🙌

Meet Alexis Hinds (Econ Dev Assistant) & Judy Mendoza (Econ Dev Specialist)! 👋

Behind every thriving Main Street is a lot of "behind-the-scenes" hustle or as we like to say “the engines of execution.”

Alexis is the backbone of technical support - updating downtown building inventories and managing the data behind grants. Judy is our researcher, ensuring local businesses get the retention support they need to thrive.

Seeing the first-hand impact the work we do in this office has on our communities is why I love what I do." — Alexis

"The most rewarding part of my job is knowing that what I do helps my neighbors. When a local business gets the support they need to grow, it reminds me why I come to work." — Judy

Fun Fact:

Alexis: She’s a thrill-seeker on her GSX-R motorcycle but loves a quiet day off thrifting and getting coffee in her hometown of Dansville 🌞

Judy: A genealogy enthusiast who has logged more cemeteries and microfilm than most! She’s also a cat mom to a South Korean tuxedo cat and a feisty Hemingway tortie 🐈‍⬛🐈

It’s National Tourism & Economic Development Week! 🎉

We’re kicking things off by introducing one of the dedicated individuals who helps drive tourism and economic growth in Livingston County! 🌎

👋Meet Bill Bacon!

Bill is our Director of Economic Development. He spends his days bridging the gap between vision and reality. Whether he's navigating complex funding or meeting with developers, his focus is on long-term sustainability for our residents.

Economic development is about looking at a vacant lot and seeing a future community anchor. That's where Bill Bacon comes in!

A flagship example of this vision is the James Steele Commerce Park in Avon. Under Bill’s leadership, our office and the IDA transformed 60+ acres of vacant land into a shovel-ready hub that is now home to major employers like UET Controls and Piranha Milling & Paving

"Everyday we aim to improve the quality of life for our residents and visitors." — Bill B.

Fun Fact: When he’s not strategizing growth, Bill is usually practicing his swing on the golf course!
