Our Mission: The Charlotte Community Association provides a forum for local residents and stakeholders to come together and discuss issues and to plan and promote events that occur in this unique and vibrant neighborhood. Charlotte incorporates its maritime and cultural heritage as the City of Rochester’s port and historic waterfront district. The monthly CCA meetings are open to the public; we publish items of interest in our newsletter and on our website.

Our Vision: A safe, vibrant, and inviting place to live, work and visit; a family friendly community and a year round destination celebrated for its rich history and natural resources.

The CCA has been in existence since 1964, and is one of the oldest neighborhood groups in the City of Rochester. We are a non-profit organization that serves the immediate Charlotte community as well as its many visitors from the Greater Rochester area and beyond. Our goal is to promote, share and protect Charlotte’s many assets, including status as an international gateway at the confluence of the Genesee River and Lake Ontario, the Port of Rochester harbor and marina area, Ontario Beach Park and the Robach Community Center, the Charlotte-Genesee Lighthouse and North River Street, the entire Lake Avenue business corridor, Turning Point Park and the Genesee Riverway Trail. These are just some of the abundant natural resources and assets found in Charlotte that promote health and wellness in beautiful, outdoor surroundings.

Your paid membership allows us to focus on our eleven committees and the plan of work that aligns within each of them as well as our website, web maintenance and publications used for promotion. We are an all-volunteer organization, including our Board of Directors, as no person profits.

Volunteer and make a difference!
