Fairport
is located along the historic Erie Canal in suburban Rochester. The
Village of Fairport is situated within the Town of Perinton, and is
located in the southeast quadrant of Monroe County, New York. Fairport
is a favorite stop for boaters during the summer months as they
traverse the canal. Many fine local restaurants and a variety of
retail shops line the streets of the area.
The Fairport-Perinton Merchants Association Inc.
(FMA)
is a non-profit civic organization of retail merchants and other
business owners in the Village of Fairport and the Town of Perinton.
The organization was formed in 1989 for the purpose of
promoting local commerce in the area. There are many benefits of
membership, including collective and subsidized advertising programs,
participation in sponsored business seminars and the sharing of ideas
